how do I link php and mysql.

[asalmon]

I have installed php and it works

I have installed mysql and get a green traffic light.

Yet if I try to run some code that connects to a database I get a message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in C:\PROGRAM FILES\ABYSS WEB ....

If I try to run phpMyAdmin I get

cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration

both of which suggest that php is not aware that mysql is installed.

I looked in the php.ini file - there is a comment under windows extensions that mysql support is built in so I don't have to load a dll.

I tried stopping and restarting the server.

Php version is 5.0.0b1 - mysql is 4.0.14b - both are the latest versions I can find. (phpmyadmin is 2.5.3.rc2) oh yes, abyss version is v1.1.6

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

It seems that your PHP configuration is in cause since it doesn't declare the MySQL extension.
Either open your PHP.ini file and declare the MySQL extension. Or use the Windows Installer version of PHP which has MySQL extension already included in it.

Thanks for your reply. I guess I'd better do the latter as I have no idea how to declare the mysql!
