bobbfwed Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I am running WinXP and I have PHP 5.2.9-2 installed with an Apache 2.2.1 server. I have a server running with a similar setup (but with Vista and mySQL 5). I tried installing mySQL on my computer but this computer has had some unresolvable (reformatting and all) problems for quite some time, and mySQL just could not run. So I attempted to connect to the remote server. I setup PHPMyAdmin and it hooked up fine. I then uninstalled mySQL from my computer (and restarted). PMA was still able to connect and operate 100%. I then tried to run a script on my server with a mysql_connect() to the remote server. But it comes back "Call to undefined function mysql_connect()". phpinfo() shows no mySQL present, but PHPMyAdmin works just fine! How is this possible? Does PMA use some manual loading of the functions or some wierd thing like that? I have the extensions setup fine (the mySQL extension loaded fine when I have mySQL installed). Do I have to have mySQL installed on my computer to access a remote mySQL server with PHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbfwed Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 OK, so I have now reinstalled mySQL 5 on my computer, hoping that maybe with that installed it would work. Still no joy. So I must be doing something else wrong. The other extensions are loading (GD, ZIP, GZ2, etc.) but not mySQL. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
