Hello,
I'm a newbie at PHP and MySql, although I have wads of experience of
ASP, ASP.NET, SQL Server, etc.
I have just installed PHP 5.2.3 on a server (Windows Server 2003), as
well as MySql 5.0.45. Both of these work fine independently, but I can't
get PHP to connect to MySql.
The first (and probably most basic) problem is that when I run phpinfo()
I don't see any mention of MySql. I suspect that this is the cause of
the lack of connectivity.
I have removed the comments from the following two lines in php.ini
(which is in C:\Windows)...
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
I've also got the following line in there...
extension_dir = "C:\Program Files\PHP\ext\"
which points to the folder containing the two DLLs mentioned above.
I've rebooted the machine a couple of times since making these changes.
As I said, when I run phpinfo(), it doesn't mention MySql at all.
Anyone any ideas? If I try to connect, nothing happens. No errors,
nothing. I tried the following sample script from
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php to test it...
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
(where I changed the user name and password obviously), but this didn't
produce anything. No message, no error, just a blank page.
TIA for any help
