Trouble recognising MySql

MySql and PHP an Madrake 9

[Montbazin]

Hello

I'm new to this forum so excuse me if I make any mistakes.

My problem is MySql recognition on my Mandrake 9 Linux distribution.

When I create a web page with PHP in it and I check it with:

http://127.0.0.1

it works perfectly well.
When I make some mysql test on the command mine I ge good results.

But when I enter a

mysql_connect()

function in my web page I get a fatal error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() 

Wat is wrong with my installation?

Many thanks for your help
Roberto

maybe this thread will give you some ideas, there are also a bunch of other links in there

The solution was to install the

php_mysql

file, which makes the link betweent MySql and PHP.

Now it works fine!
