[support] Install script does not appear

[RJ]

 Let's find out if you can connect to the database using php. Make a new
page and put only the following in it:
<?php
/* Connecting, selecting database */
$link = mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
echo "Connected successfully";
mysql_select_db("my_database") or die("Could not select database");

/* Performing SQL query */
$query = "SELECT * FROM my_table";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());

/* Printing results in HTML */
echo "<table>\n";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "\t<tr>\n";
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
}
echo "\t</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

/* Free resultset */
mysql_free_result($result);

/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($link);
?>
