[PHP] Help me debug this

2009-04-20 Thread Patrick Moloney
Some months ago I downloaded and installed Apache, PHP and MySql. With 
only light use they seem to be working.
I have downloaded a Test Script from the VBulletin vendor that is 
supposed to determine if your setup could run their product. The Test 
Script is php and appears as a form that allows you to enter a Mysql 
database name, user and password. I fill it in and select the button. 
The large blue window remains but the entry boxes and a border 
disappear. It hasn't totally crashed and can be closed - but it has stopped.


I've tried their help forum, but they keep telling me to create an empty 
database. Maybe the problem has something to do with Mysql, but for a 
test script, I'm getting zero feedback. I have an empty database and one 
with a couple of tables. I don't see a problem with Mysql. So, how does 
one begin to debug this php test script to see what's failing? I'm kind 
of new to php.

Have you tried creating an empty database?

Perhaps your install of php is blocking the error reporting from  
telling you where the problem is. Trying turning error reporting on

i find var_dump useful in these situations, and for error reporting
try trigger error. http://php.net/manual/en/function.trigger-error.php
