When I installed PHP, I gave it the standard --with-mysql argument. The compile seemed to go fine, but when I try to run a page that has a mysql_connect, I get:
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect().
Ugh! I tried recompiling PHP using the explicit path to MySQL. First, I used the path returned by "which mysql", which on my system is /usr/bin/mysql. However, the recompile crashes, with the error message:
Cannot find header files under /usr/bin/mysql.
I checked the MySQL installation manual (I installed from the RPM.) It said that the MySQL files are put into /var/lib/mysql. But when I try that as the argument to my PHP compile, I get the same error.
My question: Why doesn't PHP recognize the mysql_connect() function, even after I compiled it with the--with-mysql argument and seemed to go well? Any help is appreciated: dlobron@world.std.com. Thank you!
