Hi, I'm a newbie too. Was faced with this the other day.. I'm using Redhat 8.0 PHP-4.2.2-8.07 and when this problem surfaced, found out that phpinfo() states that it is compiled with the --with-mysql=shared. But I did not install php-MySQL*.rpm
Did a rpm -Uvh php-MySQL*.rpm and it installed the mysql.so file into the /usr/lib/php4 directory. After that, you need to stop and restart httpd /sbin/service httpd restart Try again, that should do it.

It should be in there, though, so check the php.ini file.

What connects PHP to MySQL? I've looked through google and I can't find anything that makes since to me. Can someone point me in a direction as to where I can find this out? The problem I'm having is I have PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 4.0.13 and Apache 2.0.46. I have a page that is trying to connect to MySQL via PHP. The error is: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/ww3.polkmechanical.com/test/mysql_test.php on line 8 The code on line 8 is: $link = mysql_connect( "localhost", "user", "password" ) or die(mysql_error()); I can log on through mysql at a telnet prompt with the database, user and password.
