PHP Final Year Degree Project help??


php_in_use

Recommended Posts

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!!  :D

Many thanks  ;D

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. [url=http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net]http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net[/url]

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"

I don't normally believe in book-burning but i'd make an exception for that one.

MySQLi requires PHP 5 and it's not a case of must then use MySQLi; you still have the choice of the MySQL functions or the MySQLi ones.
