Can someone help me overcome this recurring problem? I am using the
Joomla content management system and I keep coming across the following
errors.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()
in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/common.php on line 24

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()
in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/class.inputfilter.php on line 344

I notice in my Dynamic Extensions section of php.ini there are no
extensions called for; if that helps. Joomla works fine, but when adding
components or modules the problems start. One component author made a
test for the mysql_real_escape_string and I think avoided using it then
the component worked. I think that's probably not the best solution.

Fedora Core 3

Apache 2.0.55

PHP 5.0.5 (compiled with mysqli vice mysql)
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--enable-ftp'
'--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-
mbstring' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-
wddx=shared' '--enable-xml' '--with-dom' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext'
'--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' '--with-regex=system'
'--with-xml' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib'

MySQL 4.1.15


TIA,
