I know line three works without the or die part since I have a 2nd script
that is almost the same (no or die) and it retrieves info from my DB.
Try it the same as the php manual page:
$conn = mysql_connect('');
if (!$conn) {
die(Could not connect: . mysql_error());
}

issues. Now just have one I'm working on where thedata is not being sorted
correctly. I will be looking at that tommorrow.
Thanks again for the response.

This
script is located in the mysql ref section of the php manual. I'm
using php5
on SUSE Linux 10.0 with a mysql database.
Odds are REALLY GOOD that the or die is fine...
Try this: Change line 4 to be:
echo 'Successfully connected: ', $conn;
If $conn shows something like Resource #4 then you know you have a
good connection. If it shows false or nothing, then you know the
connection is not working, and or die() is doing the right thing.

You may be logging the errors. Tty echoing the value of the resource
($conn) - it should be an integer.

You want the or die part in... otherwise you are being told you are
connected when you aren't. Though I do not know why you would have no
output. Maybe you are logging messages instead of displaying them.
