I'm a PHP and MySQL newbie. I have a feeling a lot of you may have seen this
before. I'm teaching myself PHP/MySQL and trying to setup a guestbook. I'm
running latest versions of Apache, PHP and MySql on WIN 2000. PHP is
installed from the zip file. When serving php docs (code snippets below) I
get the messages:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() "
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() "
I've been reading and searching and trying all sorts of things to fix this
and can't find the solution. I've removed the comment from the line
"extension=php_mysql.dll" in php.ini. (Below is the MySQL section of
php.ini. It's pretty standard, I'm using defaults.) I edited my Apache
config file with the needed lines:
### Section 4: PHP 5 Module
#
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/PHP/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/PHP"
When I run phpinfo, MySQL is not listed. Do I need to enable it in the
configure command? How do I edit the configure command. Per phpinfo, It now
reads:
Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--with-gd=shared"
"--enable-snapshot-build"
I read these comments online:
Ok, your php.ini file is set to 'on' for mysql.allow_persistent, but is
mysql really enabled? Does your configure command look something like this?
'./configure'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'............................................
If you don't have --with-mysql it means that you cannot use mysql
functions, so compile PHP again with this option.
How do I edit that pesky configure command. I searched, but couldn't find an
answer. So, where am I going wrong? Thanks for reading and big thanks for
any help.
