Can't connect to MySQL via mysql_connect();

[johnnyICON]

Hi, I am running PHP 5.04, Apache 2, along with MySQL 4.

I am trying to connect to my database using

<?php 
		$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "usrname", "passswrd");
		echo $conn;
?>

I guess this as a result:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in F:\WEBROOT\public\main\PHP\PHPnMySQL\Listing16.1.php on line 15

All my other PHP scripts are working. This is my first time actually trying to get PHP to interact with MySQL. 🙁 Help please! 😕

Hi,

I don't think you compiled php with the --with-mysql[=DIR] option. This is necessary if you wan't to connect to MySQL with PHP.

You can check this with phpinfo(). There should be a "--with-mysql" line in your "Configure Command". There should also be an MySQL section showing the version of your client api.

I should mention that this is a Windows Server, I'll look further into that though.

Here is my Configure Command

Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared"
