trouble getting php5 to work with mysql.. help needed

[vjcyrano]

i have been working on perl so far..
wanted to give php5 a shot..

i am using ubuntu edgy eft..

i got mysql and apache2 and php working..

but when i try to use mysql_connect() in a php script..

it gives me an error

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()"

I then did

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql



i see

/usr/lib/php5/mysql.so and mysqli.so


i have installed php5 in

/usr/local/php

and apache2 resides
on

/usr/local/apache2


can someone point me in the right direction...


thanks..

have you compiled php to support mysql?

I have the entire lamp stack to run on my ubuntu edgy eft machine at home and I got past all that configuration work by just installing XAMPP.

If nothing else, try that:
