I am using php5.2.6 and mysql5 on winxp and IIS server.I am having problems getting php to talk to mysql.I have enabled php_mysql.dll,php_mysqli.dll in php.ini. I have copied libmysql.dll to system 32 folder.But all it does is gives me a blank page with no error messege.I tried using PEAR but the same result.Please help I am stuck!!.I checked the include_path it is pointing to c:/php/pear.My php.ini file is in c:\php.I have checked the system path and it has the path.I cant seem to think of anything more.

Have you checked for your error log? I'm not sure where it'd be on your particular server, but sometimes errors are written to it instead of being echoed out to the screen. You could manually echo a connection error out to the screen with something like

PHP Code:

echo '['.__line__.'] '.mysql_error(); 


This is how I handle mysql errors(if they exist):

PHP Code:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM example";
if (!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
    die("Error: ".mysql_error());
}
