PHP3 & mysql connect error

Hi all, I am a newbie to php and mysql. I subscribed to this mailing list just yesterday. My problem is : If I try to connect to mysql server using the following function, it gives me error. my statements in php script : -------------------------- $dbuser='rajesh'; $dbhost='localhost'; $dbpass='mypass'; $dbname='rajesh'; $mysql_link=mysql_connect ($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass); error returned by browser : ------------------------- Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/bookex1.php3 on line 14 However If I try to connect to mysql database using command line client mysql it works fine. What could be wrong ? Can anybody help me out please ?
