Why won't my JSON array query work? - php

Question

Can anyone see what the problem with my code is / where im going wrong?
I know i have the correct host,database,user and password.
This is the code in the php file, it should get all the details available on the players from my sql database, however if i go on the page it just gives me a white page. Im using go daddy as a host and my database is also on there.
Any ideas? thanks
<?php
$host = "abc12345"; //Your database host server
$db = "abc12345"; //Your database name
$user = "abc12345"; //Your database user
$pass = "abc12345"; //Your password
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
//Check to see if we can connect to the server
if (!$connection) {
die("Database server connection failed.");
} else {
//Attempt to select the database
$dbconnect = mysql_select_db($db, $connection);
//Check to see if we could select the database
if (!$dbconnect) {
die("Unable to connect to the specified database!");
} else {
$query = "SELECT * FROM Player";
$resultset = mysql_query($query);
$records = array();
//Loop through all our records and add them to our array
while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultset)) {
$records[] = $r;
}
//Output the data as JSON
echo json_encode($records);
}
}
?>

The script is all right, I checked it with a different query.
Assuming that the table Player is not empty, the error can be either with your raw sql query (as pointed by #Sharikov in comments), otherwise the error is with the way you have configured your godaddy server.
For debugging that, I would suggest inserting dummy print_r or echo statements before you execute the query, and going through your apache logs at /var/log/apache2/access.log.
Also make sure that you don't have any core php package missing on your server (like php5-mysql if you use mysql).
