It does appear that MYSQL has not been compiled in. Execute the "phpinfo()" function in a script to determine if MYSQL is in there.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Connection problems Hi, I try to connect to MySQL on a server (not my own, it's a shared server) with the following PHP script: <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "food", "xxx") or die ("Could not connect"); ?> I always get the error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() ". Normally this means that PHP is not correctly configured with MySql. My service provider confirms that everything is working correctly. Other (non-mysql) php scripts do work. I also run the script phpinfo() and I don't find Mysql settings. I only find in the configure command : "--with-mysql=shared". Can please someone help? Is my provider not telling the truth or must I connect in a different way? Do I have to put some files or directories in my root?
