function not found error

[mikej]

I get this error message whenver I try to connect to a mySQL server from a php3 page on Linux:<br>
<br>
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/staging/staff/index.php3 on line 3<br>
<br>
I read in the manual pages I need to install php form the source tarball, which I did. I downloaded it directly to my server from <A HREF="

http://www.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.14.tar.gz"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.14.tar.gz</A>

and installed it with apache. Everything should be working. Any ideas on why this is happening?<br>

hey all,<br>
<br>
I fixed the problem. I had to install PHP with the --with-mysql flag to gain support for mysql related functions.<br>
