Re: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

Peter,

Thank you for your posts on this subject and for your article at http://www.artfulsoftware.com/php_mysql_win.html. The point that you make in your article to copy libmysql.dll to <APACHEDIR>\apache\bin as well as <PHP_INSTALL_DIR> did the trick for me. Without libmysql.dll in the Apache directory, things do not work. With libmysql.dll in the Apache directory, life is good! The article at http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PhpFAQ does not seem to mention that apparently important piece of information (nor have I seen it anywhere else).

Thanks again,

John (PHP 5.2.3; MySQL 5.0.41; Apache 2.2.4
