PHP and MySQL

[glenman]

I've got a Debian server with the latest stable release. I just installed PHP 4 and it works fine with Apache, scripts parse and execute just fine. Now I'm try to connect to a Mysql database and I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/index.php on line 19

I've checked the script backwords and forwards and it's not a syntactical error. The MySQL daemon is running and data is accessable. So I've a configuration problem I guess....
Can anyone give me a clue as to where to start? TIA.

put this in a php file:

phpinfo();

run it, and take a look, it should show you what configuration is set.

then edit your php.ini file with correct settings. 🙂

Ok, I did that, and the info looks reeeeal comprehensive. But I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Didn't see any references to MySQL outright. I did find something in the php.ini file that stated that MySQL support was built in now....

hmmm, not sure then... are you sure there is not a ; in front of the MySQL settings in php.ini ? failing that im not sure.

I'll look it over again, I could have missed something. Thanks.
