can't get php and apache and mysql to work together

[Edward Eldon]

Hi
For ages I have run apache, mysql and php together on xp. Now I have to migrate over to win7 and am havong problems. I have got as far as apache running, and the phpinf() script working. I am sure that mysql server is running ok. However, if I try to run

echo mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'xxxxxxxx');

i get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\web_root\mysqltest.php on line 

.

I have altered the php.ini file and see thsoe changes refelcted in the phpinfo() script so I am pretty sure i have the correct php.ini file. All in all I htink that php and apache are working, I just can't get the link to mysql.

In php.ini I have uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll and restarted the server (about 1,000,000 times!)


If someone couldmake some suggestions as to what I am doing wrong I'd really apprecaite it.

I see this in the error log
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext\\php_mysql.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
