getting "call to undefined func mysql_c"

[Anon]

I am trying to connect to a mysql database on a server using apache. I get an error condition that says "Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in "my index.php program". I can from another machine execute mysql -u principal -p and connect and use the db I need. I have been able to run on my machine acting as web server and mysql server, but have not been able with browser to exec the php script to access the mysql server and database. Any and all comments appreciated and I am running into the wall and cannot see the forest thru the trees. Thanks in advance.

Often times with me it has been having dollar signs in front of functions, or not putting the dollar sign in front of a variable by mistake.

Once you eliminate those, you would have to post the code so we can see whats up.

I found the problem and did get it fixed but had to wait till I got the egg off my face for being a dunce and not checking the phpinfo for compiled with mysql. Did my recompile and all worked as expected.
