Help Mysql 5 , Php 5 and Abyss 2

[darrenfinch]

Hi all,

I have gone through one of two threads already about getting Mysql and PHP to work etc.,

I can get into the db fine from command line but now through webservices, my problem seems to be that php.ini does know/like the mysql install.

if I try and invoke $con = mysql_connect("localhost","xxxx","yyyy")

I get the same failure message:

<b>Fatal error</b>. Call to underfined funtion mysql_connect() in ......

I have copied the libmysql.dll into /php which is path'd up correctly (as is the mysql/bin directory).

I have edited the php.ini (in /windows) and uncommented out support for mysql and restarted the PC (rebooted actually!)

I can run mysql -u xxxx -p from anywhere and be presented with a password, after which I get into the mysql shell

Oh phpinfo() cannt see anything except that mysql is in the systempath

any ideas?

PS: Your red dwarf quote, its slightly wrong (im a RD fan myself :-) ) it should be: "Sir, are absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb" *audience laughs*

just thought Id correct you :-)

Your a star!

Many thanks, just had to repoint the web server for the php-cgi path and restarted - works a treat!

and thanks for the RD correction - just shows how much you rely on the old grey matter (would recommend a few beers, followed by back to back D this weekend - not forgetting the Vindaloo though!)

Many thanks again
