[PHP-DOC] Can't connect mysql to php.

[James Applebaum]

Mysql working fine & so is PHP.

But when I try to connect to the mysql table from within browser I get 
nothing.  Additionally I can't locate a log to tell me what is 
happening.

The sock an port is defined in both the my.conf and the php.ini.
Thoughts?
PHP 4.1.2 and mysql 4.0.17
