Take a look in your phpinfo. make a file with the follow code: There you can see your PHP-Configuration and which modules are enabled. You can also see the path of the modules. Check the path for your mysql extension and the socket path. PHP is connecting over the mysql.sock with the function mysql_connect(). PHPmyAdmin is connecting directly with the mysql.sock. i hope this can help you.

Exactly. My Google search on your behalf originally, stated such in much of the responses. Like I said previously, it wasn't enabled. The only difference is that you are using PHP 5, which you didn't detail in your original post. Anywho, good you've got it sorted. I still don't understand how PHPMyAdmin could have connected to it, if it wasn't enabled in the first place, web-server side. -- Regards Stephen + There is always one thing to remember: writers are always selling somebody out. -- Joan Didion, "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" + signature.asc Description: Digital signature

No. I find it very strange that PHPMyAdmin will connect to the same host though. This error you've received is indicative of PHP not able to connect to the MySQL socket, so it's very strange that it works with PHPMyAdmin connecting to the same host. Is the database on the same server as Apache ? Sorry, I'm out of ideas. -- Regards Stephen I think the error says that PHP doesn't know the function, not that there is an error executing the function. So, finally googling around I found the solution: in /etc/php/apache2/php.in I uncommented the line extension=mysql.so This is because [so I read] the mysql support is bult-in for version 4, but not for version 5. [I think another solution is to use php4, then] I hope this it could help Kevin too. Thnx everybody for the help PAolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Please don't use PHP. Unless you are a very experienced and very disciplined programmer, it is far too easy to hack together some unmaintainable crap. Please use something more sane like Python or maybe even Ruby (though I know many people who do not care for the Ruby style). Second, please don't use MySQL (or at least MySQL-specific code). If you use Python, I would recommend you make use of the DB-API which allows you access any standard databse from your program (similar to ODBC, which is also an option in Python, though DB-API is actually included in the language now, IIRC). That way your app stays portable across database implementations. Regards, -Roberto Well, on my toy hosting service I haven't python or ruby, only mysql and php.

Re: PHP: mysql_connect() undefined function
Hello, I seem to be having this same error with my VPS(Virtual Private Server) which runs Debian Sarge. It uses the Apache2 Web Server and PHP4. Yet, I have another VPS located at a different hosting company which hasn't given me any problems with this. Plus the VPS which is having the very same problem which your experiencing can also use PHPMyAdmin but cannot connect to the MySQL server in anyother scripts. I have been using PHP for awhile now, and just now I have found a problem which I cannot debug. Only because it's not related to PHP coding. I'm also more fluent in Apache1.3 than I am in the Next generation Apache Servers. I am guessing it must be related to Apache2 and the way it handles php4. If I ever figure out how to fix this problem on my VPS, I will be sure to drop you an Email on how I fixed this problem. Kevin.
