PHP not seeing Mysql.

[David Scribler]

I am trying to use PHPNuke on a linux box but I think PHP does not see
the Mysql Server.
When I use the test php program I get this error

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/home/david/html/html/test.php on line 3"

I am using Debian unstable. Is there some setting I need to look at in
the php.ini file?

Did you compile PHP with mysql enabled?

I did an apt-get on mysql. Since mysql is a default I would asume that
it was compiled in. I could be wrong.

"Did you compile *PHP* with mysql enabled?"
is a very different question from
"Did you install MySQL? (client)"

If you compiled PHP *before* installing MySQL, chances are it
won't have the support for MySQL. Even if you compiled it
*after* installing MySQL, MySQL support may not be the default.

No idea about Linux.. but my BSD installs went like:
[ SQL ]
- install MySQL
[ PHP ]
- ./configure --lotsa=stuff --with-mysql=/usr/local
- install
The only chance you'd have the way you have it is if there's a build
option with your package system, for example, FreeBSD ports I can do with
some things:
# cd /usr/ports/foo/bar
# make PREFIX=/usr install
Whether you have this option with your PHP package where you could specify
'WITH_MYSQL=yes' or similar, the pkg _might_ automagically download and
configure MySQL then much like a dependency might be.

I've never used a Linux box so no idea how those pkgs work, but might be
something to look for, but I'd suspect install MySQL first, _then_
maybe the option with the PHP install... man pages maybe more help =)

On Debian (Sarge), one needs the 'php4-mysql' package installed in order
for php to work with mysql. I'm sure testing is similiar.

Any easy way to check (if you have aptitude installed) is thus;

'aptitude search php|less' see if the 'i' symbol is beside the
'php4-mysql' package. If not installing it should fix things up.

Thanks I just ran apt-get on that package restarted php and it seems to
be working. Thanks
