mysql in php5! help please!

JehovahsWord

hi!

I just went to php5b2. to make a long story short the php.ini file says that mysql is automatically put into php, and you don't need any .dll files for it. the extension is still there, though. anyway, I didn't tough any of the extensions, (all of them are commented out by default, I found out why lol), but anyway I tried out one of my scripts to connect to mysql, and I saw something to the affect of:

fatal error: call to undefined function: mysql_connect in C:\path\to\my\script.php on line 7.

I uncommented the extension for mysql and when I restarted apache I got an error about that dll. so I commented it again. but why won't this let me use mysql functions like mysql_connect? how can I fix it? I'm concerned about that!

hi,

can you clarify what exactly I'm suppose to do? I couldn't quite understand from that post you lead meto. I know I'm suppose to copy two files, but I don't know to where. and do you mean the files that come with php5 I'm suppose to move somewhere else? sorry

hi,

well its pretty much fixed, though I still have a question. I moved the libmysql to c:\windows\system32 and left php_mysql.dll in the extensions folder, and now it works fine. and I also loaded th eimap extension which seems to work fine, but I have a few more questions.

this morning I got on and apache.exe was...not there anymore, so I had to reinstall all over again. why would this be? I used the appserv program, by the way.
second: where can I find the way to load some more of these extensions? I tried the sockets extension but then apache always said it needed to close. but how can I load some more of these extensions? are there certain files needed for them and where are they? thanks
