PHP site connecting to MySql on the same server.

[jdfultonii]

I have a client that is changing hosts. We have a Windows 2003 server running the latest MySQL version and PHP Version 5.1.6. The problem is I cannot seem to get the site to connect to the database. I know php and mysql is working because I have PHPMyAdmin running fine with no problems.

Is there a way to show the error on why it isn't connecting? Also when I view the source of the page I am testing I can see all of the code. When I load the page I just get a blank page. Is this normal?

I am new to PHP and have no clue on why this isn't working.

You must display the mysql_error after each mysql command, like this
[php]
mysql_connect(' localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password ')
or die ("Cannot connect to MySQL server: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ('my data-base')
or die ("Cannot connect to db: " . mysql_error());
[/php]
