cant connect to mysql

[anne]

hello...
im sorry, i know this is a very trivial question, but till now i havent figured
out the solution.
I just installed mysql 4.1 and php5 on my computer. i've never installed any version of mysql before. And php is working fine.
okay, so i wrote code to access data on a remote server.

$dbEdu = mysql_connect('hostname','username','password' ) or die("Cant connect to database");

but i got this error display:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:\..\db_line.php on line 11

i enabled the php_mysql.dll in my php.ini and i set the libmysql.dll on my windows path.

what is wrong here? 😕
thank you for ur time and will appreciate all the help i can get. 😃

did you set the extension_dir in php.ini?

[anne]

😉 hello..
thank u devinemke for replying..
actually i did set the extension_dir . and i check on various forums
and web sites to check whether i missed something.

and the result was null..and that's why i post myt problem here..
though i know it probably annoys people (so trivial d question) :o

i used EasyPhp for the time being now. but i appreciate any input that
may help me identify any mistake i made.

Cheers
😃

Are you sure that MySQL support is indeed enabled? In PHP5 it is not enabled by default.

Run this script

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and see if MySQL support is enabled (and check that the path is correct).
