Hi

I got to develop my whole database in Wampserver 2.1 (it's the latest set). But now I cannot connect to MySQL through PHP in Wamp. I have searched a lot but still have no clue as to what is causing problems.

No errors are being displayed. I have tried a number of code combination including "if(!)" and nothing has worked.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE.

Here is the current code I am trying which returns blank page:

<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'xyz';
$db = 'scorecard';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
if (!$conn)
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
?>

From what I've seen, variables can be a little testy sometimes in PHP script. I would try not defining quite so much of the script. Instead perhaps use

You were also missing a bracket on your "if" statement, that could be the issue.

If neither of those fixes work, I would double check and make sure that the account information you are using is correct and that the user that you have named has the proper permissions to access the database you are trying to connect to.

Hope that helps a little!

why are you asking the same question in a new thread?
it just causes confusion, please do not do this

if you are having problems in getting an answer to your problem then bump the old post or add further infortmation


as suggested in Database not connecting - Wamp Server then first things you need to do are:-

prove you have a working PHP insterpreter ont he web server. I suggested using a PHP script that uses the PHPinfo() function to display how the server is configured

prove you are getting PHP error messages. I'd suggest error_reporting.... in the absence of that you will not be able to develop anything in PHP.

You are getting a parse error:
