fenway Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I think you need to be using the new mysqli set of libraries... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15144-mysql_connect-an-undefined-function/#findComment-61104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If you are using PHP5, then you need to enable the mysql extension in order to use the mysql functions.

aeroboy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thanks, guys...after researching and listening to you guys, I went to <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/"> http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/</a>and downloaded the mysqli extension. After that didn't work, the mysql extension worked fine. Your linked thread was perfect, wildteen. THANKS!! 8) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15144-mysql_connect-an-undefined-function/#findComment-61210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
