mysql_connect Error

[Frogman]

Hi,

I am new to php and I'm testing php connectivity to mysql. I created a
php script using the php.net sample. The script uses the mysql_connect
method and when I execute it I get the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/var/www/html/testPHP/testMysql.php on line 7

I have mysqld ver 4.0.20 and php 4.2.2 that came bundled with apache
(that came bundled with RH9).

Thanks for the help,

-Rex

Not all configurations of PHP support Oracle. Or Postgresql. Or
MySQL. It looks like your version doesn't. Check the output of
phpinfo() to see how your PHP is configured. You may need to build
the configuration you need or find a binary distribution that has
what you need already configured in.

I had that configuration at one time. There is an RPM (or 2) you need to
download and install from RedHat that provides the MySQL connectivity. I
don't remember what it was.

I eventually wanted to upgrade my PHP to get the newer GD functions. Sad to
discover that getting PHP upgraded via the RPM route was like pulling teeth.
Too many dependencies from where you are now. I finally just installed
Fedora Core 1 and it resolved all my issues. Then, I noticed that the Update
mechanism in Fedora Core 1 indicated that a newer version of PHP was
available and I ran the update. It went smoothly.

Yes you're absolutely right. I tried upgrading my PHP with the latest
RPM and the dependencies goes on and on. I'm planning on just
installing Fed core 2 on my RH9 install.

Did you install Fedora on top of RH?

If you don't mind taking the extra time, you should compile everything
you want to use (apache, php, mysql, ssl etc) from the source.

It's worth it. Especially at upgrade time.

That'd be a bad idea. Security issues alone make a fresh install the
best install.
Oh, and could you please not top post? Thx. :)

As I recall, I did indeed install Fedora 1 over RH9. It's my local box and
is only for playing, so I just took the quickest route. I had other things
to do at the moment.

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by 'top post'. Can you explain. Thanks.
