yea I expected an error as well, but no error either. strange.
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] help!
Hey, I watched the 3D Buzz php&mysql series like 10 times. Love the tutorials.
I got apache php and mysql very easily set up but I am having a problem with require.
My php works when I do arithmetics, or date, or printing stuff but not with require. This code is an example from 3DBuzz.com tutorials for practicing php.
<?php
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/config/config.php');
$connection=mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die("error");
echo $db_host;
?>
This is what I put, and theoretically it should print for me $db_host defined in config/config.php. But it doesn't. It doesn't show anything. Infact if I include this code with HTML documents, the HTML won't show either.
Has the syntax for document_root changed for later versions of PHP?
What is the problem? I even shut off my firewall etc. No good.
The only thing I can think of is my root is in C: so is my PHP folder, my apache and MySQL are in program files in their default places. maybe mysql_connect (); doesnt know where to look for the monitor? help please!

EDIT: actually it doesnt matter about the slashes.
it has a problem with the lines
$connection = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die("error connecting");
when i add this into the code it screws up. not sure whats wrong with it.

is the function mysql_connect(); from PHP 5.2.0? I don't think it is included because when I add the mysql_connect to the code thats when nothing appears on the page. It doesn't interact with mysql on my computer.
EDIT: YUP my script is terminating at mysql_connect.' anything before it will print.
help me.
