RE: [PHP] Mysql Connection

Hey Uma call to undefined function, well thats exactly what it means (it doesnt like the function specified eg mysql_connect)this means that your php installation does not have support for mysql. You can check this with the following <?php phpinfo(); ?> run this via a browser and check the config of php... it should say --with-mysql heres an examle of the config section it gives Configure Command './configure' 'i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-db3' '--with-dom' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-gd' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-mm' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-regex=system' '--with-ttf' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-mysql' '--without-unixODBC' '--without-oracle' '--without-oci8' '--with-pspell' '--with-xml' You will need to recompile php to use mysql Hope this answers your question, and once recompiled your mysql_connect() function should work like a charm...
