1) MySQL functions are accessed via mysql_* functions, not dbm* functions... Look at all the MySQL
functions on php.net -
http://www.php.net/manual/ref.mysql.php
2) MySQL support is built-in to php4... you don't need to load ANY extensions. Just make the
appropriate calls to the
functions listed above (on php.net)
3) PHP_MSSQL is the extension for Microsoft (MS) SQL server, not MySQL... I know, I've made
that assumption on many occasions
:)
If you've installed MySQL according to their basic instructions, then the mysql_* function
calls should connect to your
database fine... give it a try, and let us know what you get.
