undefined function mysql_connect()

Apache/PHP/MySQL undefined function

[angst]

Hello,

I just installed Apache/PHP/MySQL all newest versions today on windows XP with service pack2, everything seems to be working fine, cept for when I went to connect to MySQL.

I'm getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\national\inc\conntemp.inc on line 3

line 3 of conntemp is:

$db_selected = mysql_select_db('National', $link) or die('Database name incorrect');

but i know the code is good, it works fine on my linux server.
can anyone tell me if i'm missing something? like a module maybe?
and if so what one and where can i get it?

thanks in advance for your time!

First thing you should probably do is create a php file on the webserver and call it something like info.php. In it it should only have:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Load it into your browser and scroll down through the information and look for a table titled mysql. If it doesn't exist, then your php was compiled without mysql support.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld angst,

maybe try these posts

those might give you some tips on where to look

well it looks like mysql was not included,

I thought I had missed something in the config but i can't figure out what it is. I've installed php many times on linux machines, but never on windows.

this should be interesting..

ok,
so I used:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and it looks like mysql support was not installed?

does anyone know if i can install it now? or does it even come with the windows version of php?

thanks again for your time!

yes it does come with it

you can turn it on in php.ini, I believe you just need the dll, which you may already have in the appropriate spot.

uncomment the mysql lines in php.ini, restart apache and see what happens ;)
