Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

[rafadc]

When I try to connect to a mysql database I keep getting that error.

I've checked /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and I have uncommented the line

extension=mysql.so

Also I have installed packages php5, php5-mysql.

phpinfo() returns that php is compiles with mySQL support.

The odd thing is that phpMyAdmin works perfectly and I can connect to a mySQL database I have.

The code that gives the error is:

$servidor = "localhost";
$nombre_usuario = "";
$contrasenya ="";

$tipo = "mySQL";

switch ($this->tipo) {
  case "MSSQL":
    $this->conexion = mssql_connect ( $servidor, $nombre_usuario, $contrasenya );
    break;
  case "mySQL":
    $this->conexion = mysql_connect ( $servidor, $nombre_usuario, $contrasenya );
    break;
}

And the error is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/generaFichero/database.php on line 23

I'm under Ubuntu Linux Breezy

Thanks in advance.

a suggestion - See how the phpmyadmin connects to the mysql, After all, it is "only" a php script too.

Just for fun try

$servidor = "localhost";
$nombre_usuario = "root";
$contrasenya ="";

Your code shows no username and no password you need at least a username and the default for phpMyAdmin uses the above to connect.
