New user asks for help with connect func tion.

I would appreciate any assistance.

I have MySQL 4.0.21 and Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 newly installed on mmy
laptop.

I am able to use PHP and Apache in my browser and see results.

However, I am not successful when I attempt to connect to MySQL with PHP.

The simple connection script I am using is as follows:
==============================================================
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("LocalHost", "wesmith", "my password");
echo $conn;
?>
=============================================================

I saved this script as mysqlconnect.php.
When I access the script with my web browser I expect to see..
Resource id #1

Instead I see nothing at all.  No error message.  Simply a blank screen.

Note: I have been able to view other output from PHP with my browser that
does not involve MySQL.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.
