Can't connect to MySQL database

Anon

I am doing a project and have no problem on my Wintel machine with some code. However, on a Linux box that someone set up I am getting this error:

Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()

Can anyone help me?

Please email me .

Mysql support is likely not built into the php module on that machine. You can take a look at php.net to see what configuration options the admins need to compile in.

Do this..

Create a file and put just <b>phpinfo()</b> function in it and run it. It'll tell you the options with which php was compiled. I bet that mysql isn't one of these options.

So what you need to do is to install mysql (if it is not installed already), and then configure your php with mysql.

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local (or whatever is the location of your mysql). Good thing to do is read install files that come with mysql, apache, and php distributions.
