Re: problem using mysql_connect function under windows XP

One alternative is to try this: http://www.en.wampserver.com Otherwise, make sure the php.ini file you are editing is the one pointed to by the line: Configuration File (php.ini) Path from the phpinfo generated file.... Also, you could check any Apache log files to see if they output any errors when you restart the web server. -B Alain Roger wrote:

nothing about MySQL...only what is in my path variable :-( 1. i stopped apache server 2. i uncomment --> extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll in my php.ini file 3. i updated my extension_dir like that --> extension_dir = "F:\WebServer\PHP511\ext" 4. i restarted apache 5. phpinfo still provide no info regarding MySQL what should i do ?

Create a page like this: <?php phpinfo(); ?> and see what the output tells you about mysql...might shed some light on it. -B Alain Roger wrote:

i've seen that non of extension are activated...neither mysql.dll nor mysqli.dll after uncommenting them and restarting Apache, it still does not work :-( On 4/5/06, Jochem Maas <jochem@iamjochem.com> wrote:

Hi, i wrote a simple testing page. it should test if it can connect to

MySQL

db.

however, i have an error message as followed : *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in *F:\Mes documents\Development\Website\Immense\checklogin.php* on line *23 *on line 23, i have the following thing : mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die("cannot

connect");

where is the problem ?

line 23. you don't have the mysql extension installed/loaded. maybe your php build has the mysqli extension?

thansk a lot, Alain
