MySQL and PHP
 

I have Red Hat 7.1. By the time I got the machine apache and php where preinstalled. I installed MySQL. Everything seems to work fine, until I try to connect to the db from PHP.

Here is the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /home/dr2000/somefile.php3 on line XX.

Does that mean that apache is missing some mysql plugins?

Any ideas why this could be happening? I spent all evening, and can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for help.

ok. just downloaded php src from php.net, tryied to config it. some apache parts were missing, so i downloaded apachi-dev rpm. installed it. compiled php, installed it, and that solved the problem... :)
