If you're getting this error, there is a line of code in the php script that is trying to connect to a mysql database and the mysql extension for php is not installed. So php doesn't know this function is supposed to do hence, the "undefined function" error.

>I can only see the HTML code of the php functions I call within the code at the command output in text format, but I cannot see it on the "browser."

I'm a little confused about what you mean here. You shouldn't see any HTML code in your browser.

Hi,

  I have originally commented out all the MS SQL lines in the php.ini files so 
that it supports MS SQL, but that does not seem to work. MySQL? Since I am not 
using that to connect my PHP to, do I still need to install it? By the way, my 
Microsoft SQL server database is on a different Windows machine.

Do you have php-mysql installed? In ubuntu for php5 the package is
php5-mysql.

Hi,

  I am currently using a Linux box with Fedora to run my PHP scripts, which I 
have seen in the download page at http://www.php.net/downloads.php that

   We do not distribute UNIX/Linux binaries. Most Linux distributions come with 
PHP these days.

  What I am wondering is, if I can run my scripts by using the command like php 
some_php.php, as long as it does not require me to have it displayed on the web page or 
in need of using a mssql_connect function, it does not give me any errors at all. 
Otherwise, it consistently gives me errors "Call to undefined function: 
mysql_connect()...".

  I can only see the HTML code of the php functions I call within the code at the command 
output in text format, but I cannot see it on the "browser."

  Are these two errors related? I tried installing PHP and Apache afterwards, 
but it seems that it is not providing a different message. Have I missed 
something here?

Anything is appreciated.
