Undefined Function Error

arimakidd · October 14th, 2005, 12:20 PM

I am building this script step by step and the first step is not working. Simply to connect to mysql, here's the code:

Code:

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","newman$") or
die ("Hey loser, check your server connection.");
echo "if you gotten this far it means things worked out";

Instead I get the following error:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\apache\Apache2\development\mysql_up.php on line 11

Line 11 is as follows:

Code:

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "newman$")

My OS is xp pro and I have successfully installed apache and php5. Mysql works fine at the command prompt. The script I am writting is in php and the entire thing is simple and short:

Code:

<?php
/*
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root@localhost";
$pass = "newman$";
*/
//connect to MySQL; note we've used our own parameters - you should use 
//you own for hostname, user, and password
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "newman$") or
die ("Hey loser, check your server connection.");
?>

Need Help

See o/p of phpinfo(). PHP5 has no automatic working module of MySQL, you need enable it.

do the following
1)include your php path (e.g c:\php)in the enviroment variables.
my computer-->Properties-->Advanced-->Enviroment Variables-->Select "PATH" from the list and press Edit.go to the end of line and
enter your php path for example c:\php

2)Copy php_mysql.dll to c:\php (or to your php path). if it is already there then ok.
   (you can find it in the ext folder of your php folder)
3)copy libmysql.dll to c:\php (or to your php path). if it is already there then ok.

4)Open php.ini file and add the following line in the extension list
   Extension=php_mysql.dll
  Save and close file.

5)restart your system.

6)Your above code is right now run it again.
