I have run http://localhost/db_ch03-1.php in my browser, the following statement appear;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\db_ch03-1.php on line 3

i have follow all the instruction included to grant user bp6am, identified by bp6ampass. What else do i left?? any suggestion. thanks for the help.

Might its not a very intelligent act,I decided to uninstall my Apache and other software needed and change to Wampserever. I still can run the code successfully. Just change the localhost to 127.0.0.1 and bp6am to root.

Hi Nurul,

I'm not an official Wrox person, just a fellow student. So take this with a grain of salt.

It was a good idea using a package. Because of the delay in releasing PHP6, the book's instructions are not "yet" really accurate. The reason you got that error message had to do with configuration issues between the AMP modules. The PHP modules for handling MySql were not configured properly. Your package should have and probably did handle all of this for you.

Just a piece of advice. It would be good to know what versions of each piece you ended up with (each piece being Apache, MySql, and PHP). this might come into play as you go through the book. Running the phpinfo() function would be a good place to start. You may not have noticed this earlier, but the result of that function probably didn't show a MySql section, while now it does.

Good luck with the rest of the book. I'm on Chapter 7 now and I've found it to be excellent once you get past those initial configuration issues.

Best Regards,
Boz
