Mysql_Connect Statement Not Connecting To Database


Recommended Posts

I am attempting to try and connect to my mysql database.  I am using apache webserver.  When I run a php script through localhost through my browser the script works well.  When I run my mysql_connect.php then all I get is a blank page.  nothing happens. I placed an echo statement at the end to verify that it connected.  The echo statement doesn't appear when I refresh the page.

 

Here is my code:

 

<?php # Script 7.2 - mysql_connect.php
 
// This file contains the database access information. 
// This file also establishes a connection to MySQL and selects the database.
 
// Set the database access information as constants.
DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'root');
DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxx');
DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost:3306');
DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'reg');
 
// Make the connnection.
$dbc = @mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error() );
 
// Select the database.
@mysqli_select_db(DB_NAME) OR die ('Could not select the database: ' . mysql_error() );
 
echo 'hello';
?>
