how to configure php.ini & connec

[Anon]

hi,
i am having problems connecting php to mysql under linux. the error is "Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()". do i have to include any header files for the same? or do i have to configure php.ini ?
anyone with a solution is welcome.

Did you configure PHP the correct way. For mysql it is necessary to configure php like that

./configure --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql/directory
make
make install

There's no need to change anything in the php.ini

As always: If I am wrong, correct my message 🙂

yes i've already tried what u've just mentioned Marcel. (MySQL and PHP4 were installed along with Redhat 7.2 package).
after running
./configure --with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql
and restarting Apache and again running phpinfo() it still shows "--without-mysql".
should i specify any other path to mysql?
ie /usr/lib/mysql ???
plz reply
