Re: Connect remote DB server

I think the mysql extension was not loaded, that's why you got the message, and it was not able to recognize the function mysql_connect. Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() how did you install your copy of php? compile it from source? Laurence Lim wrote:

Hi all, im new to PHP.net. Im developing a program to retrieve data from a remote DB server running MySQL. The code written as if (!($dbLink = mysql_connect("some.remote.host", $dbUser, $dbPass))) { print ("mysql_connect failed!"); exit; } But, it doesn't work... and return me the error msg, Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/philately/hkpo-eng/request_information/test.php on line 6 I have granted permission for access, no firewall blocking... Anyone know why it happens? Thanks for reply! Regards, Laurence
