php not connecting to mysql

HI !

I just moved my sited to a dedicated server. Most parts of the site work fine, but I'm having trouble with php.
It looks like the problem is somewhere between this:

@session_start();
@ob_start();
require("connect.php");

and the php.ini file.

What I'm testing right now is this:
I have a log in page which a username and password form action="db/auth.php
When I use this login form, I can connect to my database for a MOMENT. It checks my user name in the db and then logs in.
But after that, no information is loaded from the database.

When I modify db/auth.php so that the password and username are already in the code, and then go to db/auth.php, it doesnt work.
I will always have to go through my login page. (with method="post" action="db/auth.php...)

No matter where i go after db/auth.php, it doesn't connect normally.

Does anybody know what I have to look for - or how to fix this?

Thanx
Martin

 

Can you post your code here...?

 

found the problem
It was in the php.ini file

...was using <? ?> instead of <?php
