[PHP] PHP5 qne MySQL

2005-05-19 Thread Terrence Mullin
 I have been trying to set an area at home to run and
 test php and MySQL applications. I used the tutorial
 on http://www.ricocheting.com/server/cgi.html 
 to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL. Everything is
 working great except for trying to test a simple
 connection to the MySQL database through php. I have
 seen some other people quote on how PHP5 no longer
has
 a direct link to MySQL. My platform is Windows XP at
 the moment. I will shortly be partitioning two hard
 drives for use of Linux on one of them. I would like
 to know if there is a solution for WIndows XP. I
have
 seen people just go back to php4 to correct this. I
 was wondering if there is a simple way I can stick
 with PHP5 and make my connections. I receive this
 error right now:
 
 Fatal error: Call to undefined function
 mysql_connect() in C:\public_html\MySQLphptry.php on
 line 18
 
 Where line 18, is just the mydsql_connect ();
command.
 Thank you for your help in this I know myself as
well
 as other forums out there would like to know a
simple
 solution if there is one.

SIncerely,
Terry Mullin

Try to edit your PHP.INI file
check if PHP_MYSQL.DLL in declared as module...
if the file is in the path...
But try to use MySQLi or PDO (PHP 5.1 or PECL modules for PHP 5.0)
This is a must better way to acces mysql Database...
