but I have another problam with connection MySQL page:

heare the code:


<?php
$host = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "1234";
$database = "db";
echo "xxdfdfdf";
echo mysql_error();
$server = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
echo (mysql_error());

I try a lot, but always all echo after :"mysql_connect" ignored!

why?


The function mysql_error() will only generate a string if there have been an error while you did the mysql_connect(), if no error, then no string and then no output from the echo.

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-error.php
Return Values
Returns the error text from the last MySQL function,
or '' (empty string) if no error occurred.
