That doesn't look correct (although I haven't tried it), I would put
$conn=mysql_connect ('localhost','calendar','pass1234');
echo $conn;
if I was doing that,
but the real answer is
$conn=mysql_connect ('localhost','calendar','pass1234') or die("Error: "
. mysql_error());
The die() section says, don't execute the rest of the page, just show me
an error message.
