[PHP] Programming question - New to PHP

[Russbucket]

I took an example  of a script from the PHP documentation and try to connect 
to my database.   If I leave in the or die part of line 3, I get nothing, if 
I comment out that part I get the echo message on line 4. 



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.

Can anyone point me to some tips or solutions to the or die problem? 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.

Thanks in advance.

Chris thanks for the response. I got this working and solved a couple other 
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.

Your right, hand got ahead of my brain,  Heres the messages when using 
http/localhost/phpMyAdmin/ 

phpMyAdmin - Error
 phpMyAdmin was unable to read your configuration file!
This might happen if PHP finds a parse error in it or PHP cannot find the 
file.
Please call the configuration file directly using the link below and read the 
PHP error message(s) that you receive. In most cases a quote or a semicolon 
is missing somewhere.
If you receive a blank page, everything is fine.

 config.inc.php

Clicking on the config.inc.php gives following error.
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 
0
 
 Warning: Unknown: Failed opening '/srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php' 
for inclusion (include_path='.:') in Unknown on line 0

I've checked and rechecked the configurations files, they look correct.

Thanks for responding even with my goof.
