I am running PHP on Red Hat 9. The result screen from running phpinfo() shows that I have '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' option configured. However when I try to run the database and table listing script from page 402 of "Beginning PHP" I get the following error:

 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/showdb.php on line 6

I am pretty new to Linux and very new to PHP. I appreciate any help I can get on this problem.

Take a look at these:

I haven't installed PHP using RPMs, just the good-ol' ./configure n' make approach. This seems to be an issue with the Red Hat RPM installation.



Take care,

The .rpm's are just seperate the one that needs installing is

php-mysql-4.2.2-17.i386.rpm

that is for Disk 2 for RH9 or go to
