Hi,
I got to develop my whole database in Wampserver 2.1 (it's the latest set). But now I cannot connect to MySQL through PHP in Wamp. I have searched a lot but still have no clue as to what is...

I have tried a number of code combination including "if(!)" and nothing has worked.
CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE.

Here is the current code I am trying which returns blank page:

PHP

$mysql_hostname="localhost";

$mysql_database="naveena";

$bd=mysql_connect($mysql_hostname) or die('DB not Connected');

if(!$bd)
{
echo "Localhost not connected";
}

mysql_select_db($mysql_database,$bd);
if(!mysql_select_db($mysql_database,$bd))
{
echo "DB not connected";
}
?>

if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
