PHP Config Error: undefined function mysql_connect

[Mike Muldoon]

Hi All

This has kind of been asked before but I cannot find any answers that fix it for me. Basically I have set up my Apache (1.3.22) / PHP (5.2.1) / MySQL (5.0.37) environment. I edited the php.ini file, Windows path, httpd.conf file and managed to get PHP working with the Apache server fine. I installed mySQL and no problems there, I can query the test tables I have set up. However when I try to issue simple mysql_connect I get the undefined function error.

I know my php.ini file is setup corrently in terms of having the appropriate extensions being read, also from the correct directory. I know my path is setup. I have been through everthing that various website suggest.

The odd thing that I have noticed is that phpinfo() (apart from not having any mySQL sections) does not have the correct Configuration File in the path (it has C:\WINDOWS) and that is another thing should it not include the filename too (if it has actually found one)? I know there ia only one php.ini on my system and that is in the c:\Programs\php folder, there is none in the windows dir. So why is the Config File path wrong?

When I copy the php.ini file to the windows directory and restart the Apache server I am getting the mySQL information in phpinfo and I can make connections to the database. Any suggestions as to why the php.ini file is not being found outside of the windows directory?

Thanks in advance.
