note 50958 added to faq.databases

I've set all the paths like it says on the page, but I'm still getting a "undefined function" error. The function in question is mysql_connect(). I'm using PHP5, Apache2.1, and MySQL4.1. I've just installed all of these to test pages for a school project, and I'm very new to all of these. Is there any way to fix this without recompiling? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50958 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50958&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50958&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50958&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50958&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50958&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50958&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
