Greetings all, I am runnign into a strange problem. I am working on a Linux box. Running PHP 4.2.2 Apache 2.0 And it has MySQl installed on it (not sure of the version. I ran a quick script to check to make sure the connection to the DB is working fine as this is a very secure connection (have to do 2 SSH tunnesl to get in.) <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'some_un', 'some_pw'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?> However when I ran that I got an error saying that mysql_connect is an undefinied function??? This has got me stumped. I checked the php.ini to make sure that mysql is turned on (which it is by default now). Nothing I can see is telling me other wise. Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /home/aiastudios/htdocs/mysql.test.php on line 13 I have noticed that on the phpinfo(); That there is no section for Mysql, which I thought was odd. So it seems to me that mysql is disabled or something but I cannot see how to turn it on. Any help here would be appreciated.

mysql support is not installed. how did you install?
