blank page.... nothing is happening.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I'm new to a lot of this but in the last 24hrs have learned a lot.
Installed latest version of mysql... went fine no problems.
Installed latest version of php... went fine no problems.
did all my configuring for the php.ini for mysql.

I am running php on windowsxp iis5.

When I access <?php phpinfo() ?> everything looks good I see mysql and mysqli settings. I can run php scripts no problem but when I try to run this:
<?
$dbuser = "blah"; <-changed for security
$dbserver = "localhost";
$dbpass = "blah*"; <-changed for security
$dbname = "leads";
//******** BEGIN LISTING THE CONTENTS OF salesreps*********
//CONNECTION STRING
mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die ("UNABLE TO CONNECT TO DATABASE");
mysql_select_db($dbname)
or die ("UNABLE TO SELECT DATABASE");

$sql = "SELECT * FROM salesreps";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
do
{
$username=$myrow["username"];
$password=$myrow["password"];
$levelaccess=$myrow["levelaccess"];
$repidnumber=$myrow["repidnumber"];

echo "<option>$username</option>";

}
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}
?>

I get a clear blank page in IE and if I view the source I see my phpcode.
In firefox is see this --> $username"; } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)); } ?>

I connect find to my db using mysqladmin.
I am clueless. I moved my php.ini file into my c:windows dir from the c:php dir.

Any help is very much appreciated.
