PHP results not showing in console

I am on the first video of using CRUD with PHP. Trying to do a var_dump and connect to the database. My console is not showing any results. Any ideas why?

Hi,

Could you paste your code, it's difficult to say what is wrong:)

Hi Algirdas Lalys,

Thanks for your help. Unless I am missing a syntax, I have typed exactly what is in the video at https://teamtreehouse.com/library/connecting-to-the-database-2

Here is my code:

<?php

$db = new PDO("sqlite:".DIR."/database.db"); var_dump($db);

Sorry....figured it out. Thought Workspaces would do automatic saves. Clicked "File/Save" and works perfectly.

Cool you have figured it out:) Well done. Yap in workspaces you do have to save. You can use keyboard shortcut as well (CTRL + S)
