cannot get php to work at all

re your comment to weberdev. I get the self same error. I really don't understand all this stuff at all. I am surprised to hear myself saying it but asp it so much easier. I think the mysql and php people think it is all so obvious that documentation (read explanation) is not required. I have all this stuff running on nt workstation and all seems well to a point. I have a batch file that recreates my Access tables in mysql. I have attached these to Access and run queries to create the data. But I cannot get php to work at all. If I do this <html> <head> </head> <body> <? $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); mysql_select_db("test",$db); ?> </body> </html> Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\mysql\data\test\test1.php3 on line 10 And cannot find any explanation of what is going on Regards Peter Please help to make the NSPCC Full Stop campaign a success by adding their banner ad to your web page.
