Re: PHP 4 and MySQL not talking to each other

[lrosete23]

i installed PHP 5.0.2, MySQL 4.0.21, Apache 2.0.52 in Windows XP

in MYSQL i can connect like:

mysql -h localhost -u root -p
password:12345

in PHP i can't connect with a script in APACHE\htdocs\mysqlconnect.php like:

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root","12345");
echo $conn;
?>

when i run this in my browser, there's no connection id echoed.

do i need to edit something?

thanks.
