A wierd PHP / Mysql connection error ...

[amitpadhye]

Hello ,

I am running PHP 4.0.4 and Mysql on Linux Server

I create php scripts with mysql connection strings as usual

$conn = mysql_connect("hostname","username","password");
mysql_select_db("dbname", $conn);

My scripts connect to Mysql and work fine when accessed through web or browser...

But same php scripts if try to run from linux console mode giving command
php <filename.php>;

i get the following error :

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1
Content-type: text/html

<br>
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in <b>greetings.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br>

How is that it is giving me PHP error of mysql_connect function undefined when it is working fine from browser..
Mysql.so extension is also loaded properly ;-)

Please help me...

Regards,
Amit

when called from the command line, PHP is running as CGI AFAIK. Maybe you didn't compile MySQL support into the CGI version of it ? Try running phpinfo() from the command line and see if it is included...
