mysql connect problems

I am trying to est. a connection to mysql via PHP5 on my win XP and I keep getting the undefined function error. By the way I am running apache 1.3.23. I believe I've made the necessary adjustments to the php.ini. (uncommented the extension=php_mysql.dll) and copied this to my windows dir. There is a line in php.ini that says: ; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_host = Do i need to put anything here? thanks ===== ---------------- "forget your lust for the rich man's gold.
