mysql / php ?

pk21 · 01-14-2003, 12:52 PM

Ok, i made the following php file named dbconnect.php:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", " ", " ") or
die ("Could not connect to database");
mysql_select_db("phonebook") or
die ("Could not select database");
?>

But when i access the dbconnect.php with my browser i get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/dbconnect.php on line 2

Anyone knows what i am doing wrong?

If you built php yourslef you will need to make sure you included '--with-mysql=/mysql/dir' while configuring. My config for php looks like this:

Code:

'./configure' \
'--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.22' \
'--with-png-dir=/usr/local' \
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local' \
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' \
'--with-pspell=/usr/local' \
'--with-gd=/usr' \
'--with-mysql=/usr' \
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' \
'--enable-trans-sid' \
'--enable-track-vars' \
'--enable-shared' \

If you didn't build php yourself.. Hmm.. I'm not sure how you get a prebuilt php module for apache to have mysql support. Someone help...
