Question

I’m trying to set up a login script for PHP using the tutorial on this site. The problem is that the site stops when it hits these lines, no error, no text:

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password') or die('error line7' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydb', $conn) or die('error line8' . mysql_error());
?>

If I take out these lines, the rest of the html runs perfectly. I’ve double checked my passwords and everything, nothing is working.
I know very little about php and mysql other than what I’ve learned trying to set this up.

Maybe you don’t have errors enabled.

Try enabling them before those lines like so

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

Good luck.
