php install and test,maybe...
 

(1)I tested my php file,I got message said that "Call to undefined function:mysql_connect() in /var/www/html line 2".My test.php is <?php $link=mysql_connect();...?>.

(2)I downloaded php-5.0.5 and ./configure it.But there was no Makefile in the file I downloaded.

Hope someone help me.Thanks.

For question(1),I use php-4.2.23.

1.Are you ./configure php with mysql? Such as:./confiugre --with-mysql=/usr/local/myql

2.you ./configure is successed? no error?

Have you actually got PHP + MySQL server installed + configured correctly? I don't understand your problems installing PHP if you've already been able to run PHP scripts from your webserver. Anyways, what distro are you using - can you not find pre-compiled packages available that install + tie the two together correctly? Assuming PHP + MySQL is installed, it might be your PHP code based on the error returned. What was the rest of your PHP code to connect to your MySQL database?

My distro RedHat9,adn mysq-5;php-4;apache-2.0.55.

My php code is an example from php official web site:<?php $link=mysql_connect('localhost','user','password');...?>,and I tested <?php phpinfo();> work OK.In fact my trouble came since I upgrated to mysql-5,before that my php code seems get correct output.

It's weird.

"Fatal Error:Call to undefined function:mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/test.php on line 2" meant php parser can not be able to find its function library?Some wrong with path setting?Terroble!

I posted for help on the forum of php.net but nobody answers me.Please!
