connecting to mysql using php

[thumbelina]

ok i saw the way in the faq with all the variables, but it doesn't work well even though that's the metod that is everwhere. i know there is another way to do it, it is simliar to:<?php mysql_connect(&quot;localhost&quot;,&quot;user&quot;,&quot;passw&quotor die(&quot;can't get on&quot;?>
does anyone know what i'm missing??

Perhaps it is your configuration. Try messing around with the php.ini file and seeing what modules are loaded.

Hope this helps,

make sure you are doing something like this:

$conn = mysql_pconnect(&quot;host&quot;,&quot;user&quot;,&quot;pass&quot or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db(&quot;database&quot;,$conn);

if you get an error that says call to undefined function mysql_pconnect or something like that, you definitely do not have mysql support.
