[Help] How can I make mysql_pconnection(...) work?

(Maybe it's another foolish question, but I almost don't know anything about "l+a+m+p", please help me)

I am using linux+apache+mysql+php solution.

In the scripts, there are codes like this:

<?php
@$c = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root", "password") ;
print "ok?" ;
?>

But I found the "ok?" cannot be displayed. It seems somethings like an exception occurs when mysql_pconnect() is called.

I am sure that root's password is "password" and mysql runs ok.

So what's the problem.

Thanks a million!

Hallo, check the php configuration about allow persistent connection (must be true)

Thank you but I checked it, it's on already.

By the way, I took "@" off, and the error message is:

"Fatal Error: Call to undefined function:mysql_pconnect()...."

I am very new to php, it seems php hasn't been set up correctly.

How can I solve the problem. Thanks a million!

if you run a php-script with this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

what happens?

I get the following information:

the PHP binary that Red Hat 8.0 provides was compiled without MySQL support.

That's the problem, I got to reinstall php.

Thank all the people who gave me helps.
