mysql_connect()

[Anon]

I have a small test file:
<?
$mysql_link = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "")
or die
("<p>Could not connect to the database!");
?>

I am trying to get mysql working. I keep getting this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/connect.php on line 2

what am i doing wrong. from the command terminal i typed /usr/bin/mysqlshow and it show a little sample database. but i can't connect to it with php.

please any help would be great. I think I installed it right

Hello,

Does anyone know how to configure PHP (PHP 4.0.4) that was installed with SuSE Linux ES7 or 8Pro. I need to re-configure PHP with oci8 options so I can connect to my Oracle database. I have found a few articles that say use the ./configure.... utility .. but it does not exist on my system nor on any other SuSE server that I have looked at ..

Any help with this issue and/or anyone that can walk me through the install of PHP 4.2.2 and the configuration for use with Oracle 8.1.7 would be great too.

Thanks,
Chris
