[/quote] Thank you for your help, fenway. MySQL version is 5.0 PHP Version 4.2.2 I believe my version of PHP [u]does[/u] have MySQL support. phpinfo() returns: ------Configure Command------- --with-mysql=shared ----------dbx----------- dbx support enabled dbx version 1.0.0 supported databases MySQL ODBC PostgreSQL Microsoft SQL Server FrontBase Oracle 8 (not really) Sybase-CT ... and from /etc/php.ini : [MySQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mysql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. mysql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent). -1 means no limit. mysql.max_links = -1 ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. mysql.default_port = ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = ; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_host = ; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_user = ; Default password for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). ; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file. ; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo cfg_get_var("mysql.default_password") ; and reveal this password! And of course, any users with read access to this ; file will be able to reveal the password as well. mysql.default_password = =========================== Does any of this give you a clue? ===========================

I'm trying to learn PHP and ran several simple tests that confirmed that PHP was working, but when I attempted to connect to a MySQL database, I got the following error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() What would cause PHP to consider the mysql_connect() function to be undefined? code: $server = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
