PHP to MySQL connection

Fenroy

Right now, I'm trying to put a remote server on a Mac with OS X 10.4.8. I currently have Apache (the default build, I think it's 1.3) and PHP5 and MySQL on the computer. Everything works fine. The problem, however, is that I cannot connect to MySQL through a PHP script. The source in Firefox for the script is completely blank, even though I have a debug <h1>blah</h1> statement at the beginning of the script. If anyone knows how I can get PHP and MySQL to talk to each other, I'd be forever grateful.

The link below is the link to MAMP, it has php, apache, mysql all together and its only a simple two minute installation. I have never tried it but i have used WAMP which is for windows and everything works fine.

OK, first things first, get a modern version of Apache on there. Version 2.x

Secondly, could you post the script here, and tell us if the MySQL and PHP servers are on the same machine.

Also, can you get a simple PHP script (with no database connection) to run? Try the following:
