Help --- error

Ok, this is probably a silly question but I've just started with this whole PHP3 + mySQL thing. I tried implementing a guestbook and got the following message.


Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in connect.inc.php3 on line 14

That error means PHP doesn't have mysql support compiled in.

I kinda figured somethin like that....

how do I fix it ??

URL

You need to include:

--with-mysql=DIR

in the configuration. (Check the manual for more info). BTW, DIR defaults to /usr/local/ which is the default path for mysql, so you can exclude it as long as you didn't place mysql someplace funky.

oh by the way I'm running this on NT

Oh, that's where your problem is.. URL

Did you compile yourself? If so I don't know what to tell you as I've never done that on an Win box. However, you can dl binaries for Win32 that have mysql support compiled in. Check at www.php.net
