Where is mysql_connect() ?

[brett]

I'm running PHP5 on Windows Vista with mysql 5.2. I have a simple php
file with

<?
$dbc = mysql_connect ();
?>

When I run the file, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in E:\www
\mysite\connect test.php on line 2

PHP seems to be installed correctly. What could I be doing wrong?

What does phpinfo() bring up? If you can't see MySQL in there then it needs
to be installed/configured.

I've installed the extensions and configured php.ini. I renamed php-
recommended to php.ini since one didn't exist. I set the
externsion_dir to my "ext" path but phpinfo() keeps showing it as c:
\PHP5, which doesn't exist. Any idea why that is happening?

Thanks.

Are you using the correct php.ini? phpinfo() will tell you.

As mentioned earlier, I don't have a "c:\php5" folder on this machine
and I'm running Windows Vista. Placing the php.ini folder in the
windows folder doesn't help. After restarting IIS, I get a blank
white page. So I put the file back in my php folder, restart IIS and
it works again but PHP is still pointing to the wrong extension_dir
and the mysqlconnect() isn't recognized.

Thanks.

In your php.ini, do you have:

extension_dir = "./ext"

?

No, but I can change it. I do see the phpinfo() is saying the
configuration file is in c:\windows. Not sure why. So I moved it
from my php folder into the windows folder. Now I get a blank white
page when I browse to the php file. View source shows my php code. At
the least, phpinfo() should still execute. Any idea what is wrong?

Well, that means the correct php.ini location should be in c:\windows
folder.

There is something wrong with the php.ini file that caused php to crash,
which in turn did not process the script properly.

What I suspect (best guessing here), that one of the php extension is
in conflict with php. I suggest that you comment all the extension
loading line php have in the php.ini.

Check if PHP (phpinfo()) works again. If it does, then you have found
your bug. To further isolate which extension actually crash PHP,
un-comment the extension one-by-one and try phpinfo() each time.

If it still does not work, I can't help you any further, coz I have
**very** limited knowledge on ISS + PHP.

I've commented out all of the extensions, restarted IIS and still a
blank white page. Thanks.
