help wanted with a php script

[gjm68]

I have this php script.

<?php
require ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/config/db_config.php");

$connection = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die("Error Connecting");

echo "Connection Sucessful";
?>

When I run this script, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in F:\web site\webroot\temp_con.php on line 4

I am not sure what is wrong with the mysql_connect() function.

I am running mysql server 4.1 and php 5.

Could this be something to do with the php.ini file? I don't have one but I have two files in my php directory

php.ini-dist
php.ini-recomended

I am new to php. Do I have to rename one of these files? Do I have to put it in another directory?

Any help will be gratefully accepted.

thanks

What do you have in db-config.php?

It seems that you are using Windows.

Enable this line in php.ini:

;extension=php_mysql.dll

Becomes:

extension=php_mysql.dll

And copy php_mysql.dll from ext folder of your PHP folder to the ext folder.

Also, it looks like your combination of PHP and MySQL would have MySQL Improved Extensions available rather than normal mysql functions. Try with that as well.
