what are you expecting it to do though? You make a connection and select a database, that's it. You don't aren't sending any output.

 

However, 8080 is likely not the port you want to connect to. By default SQL server runs on port 3306. Just try "localhost"

i try localhost...but it doesnot connect...as the other keyword become dark blue color in notepad++ these mysql_connect and mysql)select_db not become like other....not work???

Forget Notepad++, it has nothing to do with how PHP works.

 

Are you running this page on a server with PHP enabled?

 

You should check for errors as well.

<?php$con= mysql_connect("localhost:8080","root","");if(!$con) {    echo 'Connection error: ' . mysql_error();    exit;}$db = mysql_select_db('gcuf',$con);?>

You should also drop the mysql extension and use mysqli or PDO instead.
