I am running Apache with PHP5 and everything seems to be working OK:
example sites that I have built display successfully.
However, I am now trying to connect to a mysql database (on a local
server but not Localhost) and when I try to connect I get the message ...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
This makes me think that some libraries are missing on my server. I
therefore trawled through httpd.conf (for apache) and php.ini (for php)
to see which settings I could adjust. All I found was that in php.ini ...
extension=php_mysql.dll
.... was commented out.
I checked and found that the file (php_mysql.dll) was available (in
c:\php\ext\) and so uncommented the entry. When I restarted Apache, I
got error messages saying that php_mysql.dll could not be found. I
therefore copied the file to c:\php\ but got the same results.
I now assume that maybe the problem hasn't got anything to do with the
DLL but instead a library is probably missing. Is there a library
(maybe 'mysql.php') that I should install? Or should copy to a
particular location on my server?
Indeed, I am a newcomer to WAMP, so I would be interested to know how
PHP handles libraries.
I have been through the PHP on-line documentation and have checked my
PHP/MySQL books but they all seem to assume that this command should
work automatically (and so that doesn't help me).
Any tips or any pointers to documents/FAQs explaining how PHP handles
it's libraries would be a great help.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle.
