After Installation, Mysql has no activity.

[alesisdrummer]

I installed Apache, PHP, and Mysql for a local PHP scripting environment. Apache works great, PHP works great. Then I added this bit of code to sort of "Test" Mysql.

<?php
echo '<p>Hello</p>';
echo mysql_connect ('localhost', 'mongoose', 'mongoose');
?>

and I put the echo tag in so that it would print the status of the mysql connection, but it just didn't print, but the Hello was parsed. It seems as if there is just no mysql activity whatsoever. Any Ideas?

yes, look in the php manual for the mysql area. go with a standard test script from there and you will know more or less if mysql is working.

really your question belongs in a php forum as the problem will be php related and not mysql related if you already have your mysql server running.
