php mysql problems

[Anon]

hi, I'm getting the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/phpbookmarks-1.4/index.php on line 14
On my php script.
The code $mysql_link = mysql_connect($dbmachine, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
Is where the error occurs.
I;'m running edhat 7.1 and php4
I have the mysql.so module installed in /usr/lib/php4
and is enabled in my php.ini file.
any suggestions?

I know this may sound a bit obvious, but are you substituting ($dbmachine, $dbuser, and $dbpassword) with your specific information?

The code $mysql_link = mysql_connect($dbmachine, $dbuser, $dbpassword);

would look something like

The code $mysql_link = mysql_connect(localhost, yourusername, yourpassword);

or
you can define those variables in a different file and require it into your page.
so -
$dbmachine = localhost;
$dbuser = yourusername;
$dbpassword = yourpassword;

"Call to undefined function:" means " Help help, you are trying to use a function that I don't know!"

In other words, You should re-compile PHP and include MySQL support.
Simply installing an SO won't do the trick.
Check out the installation section of the manual at www.php.net for instructions.
