Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect()
in /home/httpd/html/example/index.php3 on line 8

I am in RedHat6.1,
I have changed httpd.conf and srm.conf for
php3 in apache.
need I find mod_sql?

I know it is because my php not support MySQL.I installed apache,php3 used rpm.
Must I rebuild the php3?can I get some
good php3.rpm that support MySQL?

I have a severe problem, when I try to create a new database (win98) using the command [c:\mysql\bin]: msqladmin -u root mydb , the output is:
"connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'can't connect to MySQL server on localhost (10061)' ...... .
The strange thing is that my server seems to work when I use it in other applications.
Any suggestions???

Please send me mail to a sample code for processing the PostgreSQL database with PHP ?

isn't is easy ?

I found the example in this article good and has employed the technique in my website. However, one thing I am worrying about:
Is there any way for the visitor(or hacker) to peek into the content of the embedded PHP section in the HTML file? if so, the password in the mysql_connect() function will be disclosed and constitute a security threat to the system,

rgds,

I think that the PHP rpm doesn't install mysql support off the bat and you need to enable it somehow. I'm not speaking from experience, but I seen a post at phpbuilder.com asking the same question and I think that's what he/she had to do. Check the PHP documentation item 3.3.

Does the apache config files you mention refer to /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf ?

if it does, then I have gotten it right. However, my problem still persisted.

The date is now 8.1.2000 and no one has found out how to solve the problem?
Well, if you all have...pls post it here.

Just delete it.

You can try running a find on the system:

find / -name "php" -print

to find occurances of stuff.

U don't have to worry about anything in /home, ok?

And when you do install software, it's a good habit to install it from /usr/local/

Keeps things clean.

newt

I solved the problem about using and installing the correct httpd binary.
use the command:
'./configure --with-apache=/path/to/distribution'
when installing php.
And after that, go to the apache directory and do this command:
'./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a'
Of course, you need to include the other configure options in the same line.

Has anyone had goodluck installing MySQL and PHP3 on Redhat 6.1. I already have Apache running on my box, and don't want to download the source and mess the server up.

I like to be RPM straight person, and a little bit of vi.

take care

I have tried repeatedly to compile the Apache distributions to no avail. They error everytime with ap checkpass.o(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to 'crypt'. I am trying to install on Caldera OpenLinux 2.3. Interestingly enough, when I use the binary distribution with the install script, Apache works just fine...until I add PHP and then it won't start. Any suggestions? Help me...please.

Hello deno,

I also has similar error when i install mysql, apache, php and try to run apache it gives same errro as open64 problem. I am thinking it may be because of glibc version, which was written in information we need either higher versionof glibc >2.1.1 or install apache 1.3.9.

could you plase tell me where from you got glibc version 2.1.2 ..., and

thank you

i believe i d/l'ed it from the redhat site.
