I have got a problem with function mysql_connect(). When I use the function in order to create a database, it returns me thi error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in F:\Apache Group\Apache2\test\createmovie.php on line 4

What can I do?

You need to install the mysql extension, it isn't installed by default in PHP 5.

Read the manual and user notes at:
http://www.php.net/mysql

Thank you very much, I'll do.

I've do it, but I've got
;extension=php_mysql.dll
by default and it continues without working.

You should probably take a look at using the MySQLi (i==improved) libraries, instead: they're the default in PHP 5, anyway. The others are kinda deprecated.

The old "mysql" extension is not marked deprecated, AFAIK. You should, however, use the mysqli extension if MySQL is version 4.1 or later.

You must uncomment the extension to install it, by removing the semi-colon from in front of it, assuming you are on Windows. You'll also have to place the libmysql.dll file in the system path. Read all about that on the http://www.php.net/mysql page, or http://www.php.net/mysqli if you're using MySQL 4.1 or later.

If you're on a Linux server, you'll want to do something like

yum install mysql mysql-server php-mysql php-mysqli

Or find the RPMs and install them that way, or install from source.

HTH!
