Hai all,
Hello friends.

I have installed apache, php and MySQL using WAMP version 2.
i can browser the local host, php just works fine. i can connect to the MySql server using Heidi SQL just fine. every thing is ok except i cant connect to the MySQL server using php code. just a blank page appear when i execute the below code. no errror message or anything display at all.

PHP Code:
$link=mysql_connect('localhost','root');

if (!$link) {
echo "Cant connect to my_sql server" . mysql_error();

}else{
echo connected;
}

Only a blank white page appear.

PHP Code:

<?php

$host= "localhost";
$user="root";
$password=""; // if you've not set password leave as empty string


$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
