Connect to MySQL Database using PHP

[christopher_board]

Hi all. I am trying to connect to a MySQL Database using PHP on a
local machine using locahost. I am using the following code

<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'password';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or
die ('Error connecting to mysql');

$dbname = 'pmoneytest';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
?>

When I view the page it then comes up with an error that says
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:
\Inetpub\wwwroot\PHPTest\connection.php on line 6. I can't see what
the problem is as I got the code from the Internet and it seems to be
the same on all the different website that I look at.

Thanks very much for your help and I look forward to hearing from you
in the near future.

Make sure that you've enabled the MySQL extension in php.ini. You can
check this by running the following script and examining the output:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Hi. I have checked the phpinfo(); and MySQL seems to be ok as it is
pointing to where the server is installed. But the internet page still
doesn't work. Is there anything else that I can try.

Christopher,

Does phpinfo() have a mysql section? It will have items like:

Active Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
Client API version 5.0.32
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external

and so on.

Your symptom is indicates that the mysql extension is not loaded in php.

Hi. There isn't actually heading called MySQL but it does have Active
Persistent Links 0. The things that you mentioned are not
shown in phpinfo();.

Thanks very much for your help in this matter

Check the php.ini( find path with phpinfo()
find and replace for php_mysql.dll
make sure it is enable

example:
with ";" in front of the extention is disable
;extension=php_msql.dll ( disable)
extension=php_mysql.dll ( enable )
hope it work

OK, then the MySQL extension is not loaded. You need to add it in your
php.ini file.

Do you have the libmysql.dll installed in a directory in your PATH

Hi. I have managed to get it working. The problem was that I had to
copy the dll files that were in a zip file to the root of the php
program folder.
