PHP - issues with mysql_connect()

[phillydog]

Does anyone know why I would get this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in f:\website\php\testdb.php on line 3

I uncommented 'extension=php_mysql.dll' in the php file, but I guess I still don't know how php knows where to find MySQL.

The PHP is running on IIS6, and basic pages run fine.... just nothing with a call to MySQL.

ANY help is appreciated.

One of my coworkers had this problem a while back (PHP 5).
I believe the problem was that the path to PHP (or was it the path to php.ini?) was not set in the environment variable.

So, try to add the directory where PHP resides to your environment variable.

these are what I have with regards to mysql / extension in general:

extension_dir = "c:\php\ext\"
extension=php_mysql.dll

Oh, just remembered.
You also need to have libmysql.dll in your php directory where it can be found (I placed mine at PHP directory)


Edit: according to this, the libmysql.dll need to be placed where apache (or in your case, IIS) can find it. And one of the logical place would be in c:\windows. Try adding that and see if it works?

if you used the installer from php.whateverthey'renetextensionis, it does not install any extensions.
there is a zip file above the installer on the download page with all of the extensions. i think they are in an EXT directory in that archive. throw that into yer php direcectory, uncomment the line & set the extension directory in php.ini and you'll be all set.
