Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

[edwardp]

I am running an apache server 1.0.3 and have just recently installed a newer version of php (5.0.3) from 4.1.1

I deleted the entire php directory (which was c:\apache\php) so i wouldnt have any php4 stuff left over) and then extracted the new files into that directory. I have made sure of any necessary changes to httpd.conf for apache (mainly) changing the dll's to the correct versions.

I then changed the settings for loading the modules in php.ini

I want to load gd, mysql, and mssql support.

I have a directory of dll extensions in c:\apache\php\ext and changed the line extension_dir = "./" to extension_dir = "./ext"

I have also changed register_globals to ON in php.ini

Having done this i am getting the subject title messages when trying to connect to mySQL, which is local to apache.

Can anybody have any ideas please?

set the extension_dir directive to the full absolute path to where your extension DLL's are located and you must also uncomment the specific extensions you want to use in the Dynamic Extensions section of your php.ini.

i also recommend you read this.

Also, if you have installed MySQL 4.1.3+ also, you'll need to forget about this entire thread, as the MySQL library will do you no good, whereas the [man]MySQLi[/man] will.
