Default Chapter 3 Beg PHP6 etc..error statement

I have checked and double checked and cannot find the error. Here's the error message = Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\db_ch03-1.php on line 4
Here's the code for db_ch03-1.php (I get the same error on db_ch03-2.php)
Code:
<?php

//connect to MySQL
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'bp6am', 'bp6ampass') 
or die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');
    

//create the main database if it doesn't already exist
$query = 'CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS moviesite';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//make sure our recently created database is the active one
mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the movie table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movie (
     movie_id        INTEGER UNSIGNED   NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     movie_name      VARCHAR(255)       NOT NULL,
     movie_type      TINYINT            NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
     movie_year      SMALLINT UNSIGNED  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
     movie_leadactor INTEGER UNSIGNED   NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
     movie_director  INTEGER UNSIGNED   NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

     PRIMARY KEY (movie_id),
     KEY movie_type (movie_type, movie_year)
   )
   ENGINE=MyISAM';
  mysql_query($query, $db) or die (mysql_error($db));

//create the movietype table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movietype (
     movietype_id     TINYINT UNSIGNED  NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     movietype_label  VARCHAR(100)      NOT NULL,
     
     PRIMARY KEY (movietype_id)
   )
   ENGINE=MyISAM';
  mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the people table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE people (
     people_id         INTEGER UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     people_fullname   VARCHAR(255)        NOT NULL,
     people_isactor    TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
     people_isdirector TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

     PRIMARY KEY (people_id)
   )
   ENGINE=MyISAM';
  mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

echo 'Movie database successfully created!';
?>

Hi

Your code looks correct - this looks more like a setup issue with using PHP with MySQL.

Have you managed to connect to MySQL at all with PHP? If not, look back at the configuration steps in Chapter 1 and make sure you've done everything there, in particular page 11.

I don't want to disagree with Phil's post. He knows more about it than I do.

But in the event that that doesn't work, you might try these alternatives:

1. Check out Nurul's post just above this, and find a package that does all of the AMP installations for you. Or,

2. Do like I did and just download Apache, MySql, and PHP individually paying close attention to the instructions for each. When I did this, a lot of my configuration issues went away. I particularly recommend the windows installer for PHP, and make sure you select MySql as an addition in the install wizard. I did this and it took care of all my initial configuration problems between PHP and MySql.

One word of warning, if you follow the instructions on page 11, be careful of the continuation on page 12. That is for PHP6 which hasn't been released yet. So following it exactly will lead to trouble.

BTW, don't be dismayed by the initial configuration issues. Everyone is having them. But once you get past it and get everything up and running together, the book is excellent from then on.

Best of luck,
Boz

Default WAMPserver

worked beautifully.....took 5 minutes to clean up all the old stuff and 5 min to restart and get it done right.....this may be a good suggestion for the book.
Thanks
