Apache/ Win XP Home/ PHP5/ MySQL

Philipp Lenssen

OK, I can get PHP5 running on Apache 2 installed on Windows XP Home
Edition. Now I want to add MySQL4 to the package. I installed it but
I'm not sure what to do now. My PHP5 scripts are running fine.
The MySQL server seems to be running though actually I'm not sure. When
I write
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql");
I get the PHP5 error message
"Call to undefined function mysql_connect()"

Can anyone help? (Or should I be using SQLite?)

You have to enable the extension mysql.dll in php.ini.
note : On php5, mysql extension is not loaded by default.

Thanks. However even after adding the extension and restarting Apache
it cannot be found...?

Create a script containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> and search the output for
'mysql'. It probably isn't actually loaded.

Just wondering, should one use the new mysqli extension instead in PHP 5?
