[shermili]

[wildteen88]

The sticky thorpe is refereeing to is the thread labelled [b]Call To Undefined Function mysql_connect[/b]

That thread provides a link to an FAQ [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95378.0.html]here[/url]. This FAQ will help to sort out this error.

[shermili]

i tried everything from FAQ.
doesn't help

[shermili]

am i suppose to do anything on mysql side besides installing and setting up username and password?

[wildteen88]

No. It is to do with PHP having trouble loading up the MySQL extension.

There may be older versions of the following files on your computer that may be causing this:
- libmysql.dll
- php_mysql.dll

Search your computer for these files. php_mysql.dll should be in PHP's ext folder and libmysql should be listed in C:\WINDOWS and in MySQLs bin folder.

If the search finds any others rename these to something else, eg: libmysql.dll.bak

Restart your server. Do you still get the error message? Also have you added PHP to the Windows PATH?

[shermili]

yes i added the files to c:\windows and also my php is in c:\ path.

but still same error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\connect.php on line 2
