MySQL not working

[eluser]klompie[/eluser]
Have searched for this en found others with the same sort of problems, but cant solve this.

when i use $autoload['libraries'] = array('database'); nothing will load. every page i open stays white. (no source too)

this is my loaded controller:

Code:

<?php

class Klant extends Controller {

    function Klant()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }
  
    function index()
    {
        echo 'Hello World!<br>';
        mysql_connect("localhost","crm_user","******") or die(mysql_error());
        mysql_selectdb("dtd_crm") or die(mysql_error());
        echo 'Connected!';
    }
}

/* End of file klant.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/klant.php */

when i disable autoloading of database it echo's "Hello World! Connected!" so this way it is working.

I tried setting pconnect to false but this did not solve it.

So how to solve this.
