8,646 PointsLinking to MySQL for first time; erroneous PDO arguments?
My page is completely blank when I call var_dump() here.
Here's the PHP:
<? php
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=stl;port=3306", "root", "____");
var_dump($db);
?>
I'm running WAMPSERVER and have checked that the server is currently running and the port is indeed 3306. My username is root and the password is entered correctly. I also have a db already created named stl. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
