Please can some one help with my problem; I am running Apache web server on my lap top, plus a mysql server and php. The version of php currently installed is 5.2.5.
when i write some php to connect to my mysql database server instead of it connecting i get :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\h tdocs\chephrenr epairs\dataentr yprocess.php on line 16.
question 1 is this:
Is this happening because the version of php i have installed has no support for mysql bundled with it?
Question 2: Are there some versions of php 5 that have no support for mysql at all because it was removed by the php writters and if so which versions of php 5 do have mysql support built in to them that works properly?
I have looked on this forum and found that someone said that mysql support was removed in php 5, but it sdoes not say which version of php 5 it was removed from, neither does it hint as what to do to get php communicating twith the local mysql server??
if questions 1 and 2 have been answered in anther thread on this forum then please where???

when i said in the previous but one posts that what i did worked, i.e. got php to run mysql functions correctly, well that's not true because when i run the correct php to connect to the local MySQL Server, i did not get the fatel error message suggesting that the function mysql_connect() has failed to work , instead I get just a blank page, with no writing in it at all??!
so what does that mean? does it mean that any of the php is working at all/ I am going to continue to try to figger this out, and what i find out will be in this thread on this forum i hope shortly, watch this space...!!!!???

that looks like a PHP runtime error (e.g. a defect library). try to figure out which function may cause this (e.g. if a DB library is defect, php code without DB functions should work fine, something like that)
if i run a little php to echo some text to the screen that works, but what about the function $conn = mysql_connect(" localhost","USE R_NAME","PASSWO RD");
as we know there a lots of mysql php functions, but the one i am using simply is designed to make a connection to a database. it should either work or not work?
I need to look at whether error reporting is switched on or off, and what level of error reporting is enabled and possibly other things also. i need to also test to see if some other php functions not related to MySQL work ok. i will do some testing...

basicly yes. but the mysql library may be corrupted (then you get no output at all (not even error messages)) or there may be an error in the php.ini....
regards
one more thing: never ever post passwords (use something generic like "password")
that Old Estonian proverb comes to mind; If you think things are really bad don't worry yourself, things will definitely get worse.....
I have figured out that a simple echo command works fine so php in general seems just fine, next i will try to see firstly what the level of error reporting is at present and then play at changing it to see what happens....
oh yes, it is ok the password i posted is fake, it is not like the real one that will eventually be used on the live server... but thank you for mentioning this it is a good and valid point. on the real program i will us user names and passwords that will not be posted anywhere in any forum.

then I'm relieved.
regards
I have now looked at php.ini and in it there are error handlingg andd loging section and in here there is
error_reporting = E_ALL
and
display_errors = Off
it is this line that is ensuring that no errors are being sent to the screen, i have changed it to say display _errors = On and then stopped and started Apache and hay now i see the message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\h tdocs\chephrenr ep........... at line 20
So we see that the mysql function is still not working.....
so will go back to look at all the posts in this thread and see if i can try some of the ideas presented as well as googling the problem once more...??????.. .. what i discover will be posted here, any help from anyone in the know with php 5 configuration would be welcome along with the other people that have kindly posted help.. ...
