Checkout URL Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() again i posted a half solution there and am working on the rest of it.

Hi, i know its my first post, and that this thread has been inactive for a while, and that this problem has probably already been solved but:

I have just installed linux on a server and have got it all working etc etc accept i got that error when running a mysql_connect() function, i have yet to find the exact solution, but what the problem is, is that whe you install php/mysql manualy on a machine you do mysql first then php so that php configures it self to run with that mysql server. The problem with some versions of linux (i am using mandrake 10.1) is that they install php then mysql so php isn't configured to run with mysql. you can tell this if this is your problem by running

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

if there is a section on mysql then this isnt your problem, but if there is not mysql section it isnt set up properly. I am now working on a way to re-install php so it can see mysql.

Hope this helps
