Hello all,
I'm running Fedora 12 (64-bit), Apache 2.2.14, PHP 5.3.1, MySQL
5.1.42, on a Dell laptop.
I'm trying to access a local MySQL database using PHP. When I execute
this code from the shell (as: php testcode.php)
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
I get the message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
The FAQ on the PHP site says:
"Unix users, at least the ones who know what they are doing, tend to
always build PHP against their system's
libmysqlclient library simply by adding the --with-mysql=/usr option
when building PHP."
But I'd like to avoid compiling PHP from source. I've had endless
trouble getting non-rpm code to play nice with
this 64-bit distro of Fedora. Also, I don't want to wind up with
multiple copies of PHP (or MySQL, or Apache).
A reply to an earlier poster read:
======
It sounds like the MySQL extension module isn't loading. Here are some
things to confirm:
- Ensure the module is declared in your php.ini file
- If it exists in the php.ini, confirm the module is located and named
as stated in the php.ini file.
- If the module is named and located in the proper place, check your
permissions on that extension. You want to make sure whatever is running
your site can access the module.

I've tried obeying the above instructions, with no luck. I'm also confused by
the lines in php.ini:
;;;;
; Note: packaged extension modules are now loaded via the .ini files
; found in the directory /etc/php.d; these are loaded by default.
;;;;
As guides, I initially used the following two pages:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=94257 (Title: Every
server setup imaginable)
http://www.somacon.com/p109.php (Title: Resolving a Fatal error: Call
to undefined function
mysql_connect() in RedHat)
and have been reading the PHP and MySQL documentation.
As per the Fedora Forum thread, I have executed:
yum install php httpd system-config-httpd mod_ssl
as well as:
yum install mysql-server mysql mysql-gui-tools
and:
yum install php-mysql
I've also tried altering /etc/php.ini with
extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules/"
which is where my mysql.so is found, and
extension=mysql.so
The output of my phpinfo() includes:

I'm just about out of ideas. The website I'm building will be strictly
local, for learning MySQL and PHP.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance...
Andy
