Okay, there is no mysql.so module in /usr/lib/php4 (my extensions dir),
which basically says to me that no matter what i do i won't get mysql
support unless it is there, even if I uncomment it in my php.ini file. Can
I download it from somewhere and just plonk it in the extensions dir, or
does it not work like that?
One thing i should mention, when i look at phpinfo(), under the dbx
section it metions mysql supported or something, does that just mean the
support for it is there but it is not nessecarily being used?
Sorry if this is getting on your nerves

you probably have the mysql and the php installed and working correctly.
check your php.ini file search for a section named extensions and check if
the mysql extension is commented (if so uncomment it), check is the
entensions directory is correct, check the apache logs to see if php load
correctly, you could have a CANT LOAD MODULE in the log.

Yeah thanks for the phpinfo() tip. I guess I know that MySQL isn't
working
with PHP cos I'd already checked that. Bit silly I presumed that
installing
it all at the same time as installing Linux it would all work together.
In the package manager for RedHat, under the Web Server Section, PHP is
listed for installation, along with a few modules to go with it (ie.
LDAP
and IMAP, and some stuff to do with PostgreSQL), but there is no option
to
install a MySQL module with it. Seems a bit silly really.
The version of PHP is 4.22.2-8.0.5 (4.2 basically), and I don't know
what
version MySQL was built into PHP from, but it doesn't seem to be on this
version.
I simplified my code to just this, and got the same message, so I don't
think adding my own code will help:
?
if ($connection = mysql_connect(localhost, [username],
[password]))
echo hooray!;
else
echo oopsie!;
?
I don't know what you think about all this, maybe I should download
distributions and install them myself, but if I can sort it without
having
to that would be great as I'm only just starting to get my head around
Linux
after all these years.
Thanks for your help guys :)

Call to undefined function mysql_connect(), this means that php doesnt
reconize mysql_connect() as a function, this could be because you use
the
wrong name for the function (in this case it seems ok, check your
code),
or
because the mysql extension isn't loaded (it is loaded by default, and
it
should be if you didnt mess the php.ini file or the extensions
directory).
There is an easy way to check if the extension is loaded, create a
phpinfo
script:
?php
phpinfo();
?
and serach for mysql to see extension is loaded.
Hope this helps.

Subject: call to undefined function mysql_connect()
[PHP / MySQL / Red Hat 8]
Hey.
I've just installed Red Hat 8 from a downloaded
distribution and have
set up
Apache, PHP and MySQL. The problem I have is my old
code that I wrote
in a
Windows environment doesn't work.
The error I get is: call to undefined function
mysql_connect()
I know that Apache is running fine and I know that PHP
and MySQL run
okay
independantly of each other, but I can't work out how
to get them
working
together.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Jono.
Hi,
Generally you need to post your code to get help,
otherwise we can't show you where the problem is. So
could you please, unless you have found a solution,
post your code so we can see what's going on and point
you in the right direction? :)
