Newbie: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()
I'm learning PHP after spending years working with PERL, ColdFusion, and ASP. I wrote some PHP on my PowerBook running Apache, MySQL, and PHP 4.2.3. I moved them over to my Redhat machine and encountered a goofy error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /usr/www/html/session-manager/test.php on line 4

So I'm thinking perhaps MySQL isn't enabled in my Redhat install of PHP, so I pull phpinfo(). The following line is under "Configure Command":

'--with-mysql=shared,/usr'

I assume this means MySQL functions should be enabled. Is there anything else I could be missing here?

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

-Chris

Well, with that configuration it should makes PHP can connect to mysql using that function. Re-check again if you misstype the function ?

RE: Newbie: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()
I don't think it was a type-o, as the same exact code was working on my Mac just fine, but I appreciate any and all feedback!

Here is the actual code:

php Code:
Original - php Code

  15. <?php

  17. ## FUNCTIONS
  18.  
  19. // Open a connection to mySQL, then init access to specific database
  20. function my_accessDB($db_name, $print_error) {
  21.     global $link;
  22. /*
  23. If you use "root" to run mySQL on a production system you are asking for major trouble.  This is configured this way for a workstation not accessible via. the Internet.
  24. */
  25.     $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "chris", "public");
  26.     if ( mysql_select_db($db_name) ) {
  27.         return ("true");
  28.     } else {
  29.         print "Could not open database: $db_name<p>";
  30.         return "false";
  31.     }
  32. }
  33.  
  34. ?>
