Just upgraded from 5.1.4 to 5.3.2

[Geates]

Installed Wordpress. It throws an error "Your server is running PHP version 5.1.4 but WordPress 3.2.1 requires at least 5.2.4.". So I upgraded to php 5.3.2. Wordpress still throws the error

Also, my other php websites that use MySQL are now saying that mysql_connect() is an undefined function.

I've checked the environmental paths, php.ini, restarted mysql and

http://www services.

Still problems persist. Anything else I should check?

The Same error? Same version number for the error? Or does it at least recognize that its another version?

Judging by the fact MYSQL functions no longer work, I'd say you installed an older version rather than a new one. Since older PHP versions did not have the MYSQL library of functions enabled by default.

If this is on Windows, take a look at your PHP.ini file and make sure php_mysql.dll is enabled in the extensions section, and that the file exists correctly in the extensions directory.

The dll exists. It's enabled in php.ini. And the version I installed is actually 5.3.8 (both msi and binaries) yet WP still report 5.1.2?

I'm going to revert to 5.2 and see if that restores functionality.

Newer versions of mysql make use of PDO. Try a PDO command like

$dbh = new PDO('sqlite:' . $db);

seems like Wordpress is using a PHP installation that is not the one you updated

Make sure you don't have two installed versions of PHP.

If you have a flavor of WAMP, MAMP, XAMP... then PHP tends to end up inside the bin folder of the installation.

If you install PHP on its own it ends up in the PHP directory.


Also:
According to the WordPress Installation guide:

Step 4. Installation of WordPress and its requirements
Finding Dependencies: Web PI will determine the minimum set of components and modules you need on your machine to run WordPress. It will only install what you’re missing. For example, PHP will be installed and configured to run WordPress.

5.3.2 doesn't seem to come with an isapi.dll. Once I switched to useing FastCGI module, things started working.
