php_in_use Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I am very new to php and i am trying to work my way through "PHP for Dummies".I have got to a program called [b]"mysql_send.php"[/b] ([i]mysqli[/i] version) ([url=http://janet.valade.com/downloads_fd2.html]http://janet.valade.com/downloads_fd2.html[/url]) which you can download (to save typing it out from the book). It loads up in my browser no problem but i'm getting [b]"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\mysql_send.php on line 16"[/b]The main function is to query my MySQL databases.Can anyone help me please? ???This is pretty important as its for my final year project for my degree, if I can get this working I can get my project working!! :DMany thanks ;DSteP.S.

php_in_use Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Please remember, I'm working from the book!!It says that if I'm using PHP version 4.1 or later that I need to use "mysqli" instead of "mysql"Ste Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25041-php-final-year-degree-project-help/#findComment-114132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsist10 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You'll probably find (if you're working in win32) that your mysql modules isn't loaded.Save this in a file and load it[code]<?phpphpinfo();?>[/code]If it doesn't list MySQL somewhere in the result, then you know what your problem is.

gmwebs Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So does phpinfo(); now show MySQL and MySQLi sections?Here is a great article describing a resolution to this specific issue - [url=http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_FAQ]http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_FAQ[/url]Oh and try NotePad++ for a great little editor.

mschrank99 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 did you make sure the module is set to load in apache's config file? (httpd.conf?)Look for "loadmodule mysql"...(something) in httpd.confIf it is "commented out", meaning it looks like:;loadmodule mysql...Then remove the semicolon, then restart apache.
