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

[Bee Jee]

Normally, issues like this take me 20 hrs to fix. Luckily this was a quick fix.

I used the .msi installers for apache 2.2, php 5.2, and mysql 5.0 so the httpd.conf and php.ini were automatically updated.

however, I initially only installed mysqli extension (php_mysqli.dll) and was receiving this error.

to fix, I ran the php binary (as if i was going to install it) and just added the extension mysql (php_mysql.dll) and restarted apache.

i am not sure if there is some compatibility issue with mysqli extension but I would definitely test using the mysql extension
