Back to the basics

I'm trying to get some connection issues resolved.
(yes I'm learning how to do this)
I have tried 3 different ways, but when I upload the code to my server, and display the page I get nothing in return.
So maybe I'm doing something wrong..
IF I read the code right I should get a die msg if I change the user name or passwd right.?
Well all I get is a blank screen when trying to goto the page.
Now if I do change the user name or passwd then I do get a die msg now, but is there a way to display a msg if I have connected..?
Here is the code I'm trying to use now:
<?php
$host = "MY IP";
$user = "MY USR NAME";
$pswd = "MY PASSWD";
$dbname = "MY DB";
$connect = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pswd)
or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
$database = mysql_select_db("$dbname")
or die(MySQL_Error());
?>
thanks for your help..
