Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

[dallr]

Good morning All, I am 2 days old using php now and I am having problems connecting to the database.

 

I have installed PHP (php-5.2.6-Win32.zip) and Apache2.2 (apache_2.2.9-win32-x86-no_ssl-r2.msi). I used the tutorial found in this link to configure. http://www.geocities.com/noluv4nerds/. Everything is going well and I am able to see my details when i run phpinfo().

 

However, when I use the following bits of code I get the error indicated in my subject line.

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

 

I have been at this for 2 and a half days now and I have looked that these links and many more but nothing seems to work.

Can someone please provide some further guidance. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Did you read the sticky at the top of this board?

IF your php info page does not show mysql, try copying libmysql.dll to the windows directory... I think the last time I ran into this that was the problem.

 

Hope that helps,

To enable extensions, once your system is setup correctly, it is not necessary to copy any files around to different folders (which makes upgrading difficult.)

Yeah, because copying and pasting one file during an upgrade is just too much to ask

 

He asked how to fix it... not upgrade it down the road, I was just trying to get him working.

Will you remember to do it each time? Just asking

It's not a proper fix, but better than nothing.

 

It would be good if dallr told us what did he actually tried and achieved.
