MySQL connection

dweed-Ly · 08-07-2006, 07:13 AM

Hi all,

I just install PHP5 and MySQL5. They all work but I can't connect to MySQL via php connection (mysql_connect).

Could you tell me what is the matter?

Thanks for your answer.

I left my crystal ball at the office. Can you give us the error message PHP is giving you at least?

First thanks for your answer.

The massage error is :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

you need to install the php mysql extension:
http://php.net/mysql

I'm going to check again, but I'm sure I'm already do that.

I have checked and do all the necessary steps to connect MySQL server, but I still can't connect to MySQL with my Windows XP Home edition. But with my windows XP professional, I can connect to MySQL server. I don't understand why.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks for your answer.

Check out this article and make sure you have followed the proper steps for installation. I installed recently using it and had no problems. in the past I've had many difficulties with installation so at least you know you aren't alone in that regard.

Until you post your code, we are unable to help you,

but i had a problem in connecting at first because i thought mysql dbs were like mdb databases and were located in an area awaiting for connection.

wrong, they are located at the same place, http://localhost/ with the username 'root'

for you to explore further please install SQLYog from www.sqlyog.com

What does PHP info tell you? Create a file named phpinfo.php that contains...

PHP Code:


			
<?php

phpinfo();

?>

and place it in your webroot. Then go to: http://localhost/phpinfo.php

You should see a block of configuration options under a mysql heading like mysql.connect_timeout etc.

If you don't see that, then you don't have the php libs installed.
