mysql_connect function not found?!!

dwu

Hi guys,

I really need help on this! I got "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /home/webdoc/staging/dwu0/me.php on line 12" error msg in my php code. i had installed the php and mysql properly, and I am sure the function to use to connect to mySQL is mysql_connect. How do i fix this? Thnx guys!

The parameters of the mysql_connect statement are probably not correct - could you post the php code concerned?

dwu

$db = mysql_ connect ("localhost", "me", "12345");

are you sure your daemon is started? because i have the same problem and its because my daemon doesn't even start.

dwu

yeah i had my sql and apache started.

If you've installed PHP-MySQL in Linux, probably you'll need to try first if they work correctly independently.

If they work fine (try a HelloWorld.php and create some tables in mysql), then you'll need to instal the mysql.so library.
you'll have to search this file and install it, form here:

http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RPM/mysql.so.html

the installing instructions are inside the RPM.

If you're having this problem with windows, I'm not sure but I had the same problem 🙁 and I couldn't fix it. Problably is the same that the one in linux. But you can download the easyPHP software from www.easyphp.org. This site offers for free a single installer for Apache, PHP and MySQL, and it works really fine.

I have had issues with getting the mysql daemon to run on all of the 3 major distrobutions of linux (slackware, redhat, and debian).

Every single distro comes pre-installed with mysql, yet none of the daemons will start. It says some junk about mysql.sock error? Is there permissions i should be concerned with? I already have the mysql user and group. I don't know what else to try, HELP!

I had the mysql.sock error too, but it got fixed by itself when I changed my operating system to Linux Rad Hat 8.0 (Pink Tie). This socket error was very common amog the last versions of red hat (7.x).
If you take a look at the FAQ in the Mysql site (www.mysql.com), probably you'll find the solution to your problem. Good luck!.

I've been trying to find the mysql.so everywhere online, but I can't find it for my version of php 4.2.2. Does anyone know where I can find it? Or does anyone have it? Thanks...

The mysql.so is here and it's about 38 KB:

http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RPM/mysql.so.html

but I attach the file just in case. Good luck!!

Thanks a lot. Just what I was looking for, I think. I will download it and try it tomorrow when I get to the office. I will let you know, thanks. Jose
