note 45865 added to faq.databases

Trying to upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5 and make it continue to use the MySQL 5 Database in my Apache 2 on my XP Home Edition OS (). Everytime I load the page I kept getting the message "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in <path>" I fought for 3 hours trying to figure out this TINY detail. In the php.ini file line 508. Under "Paths and Directories". The line that says : extension_dir = "./" This needs to be changed to : extension_dir = "./ext/" So all the "Dynamic Extensions" on line 585 can find the actually DLLs it needs, and not the base ones located in the PHP home directory. Which won't load BTW. :) I'm not sure of a better way to state this. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45865 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45865&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45865&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
