The reason you are not getting an error message now is that error
messages are turned off in php.ini. The error is still the same, but it
is no longer being displayed. You can add the following lines to the top
of your script to turn the errors on temporarily so you can see the
error messages:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors",1);

The error message means that you have not activated MySQL support. You
must uncomment the line php_mysql.dll extension line in php.ini and you
must locate the files php_mysql.dll and libmysql.dll where PHP can find
them. You say you did uncomment the line. Perhaps you need to restart
your web server after the change. The best way to locate the .dll files
for PHP to find them is to put them in the main PHP directory and add
the main PHP directory to your system path.
