Can someone help me overcome this recurring problem? I am using the Joomla content management system and I keep coming across the following errors. Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/common.php on line 24 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/class.inputfilter.php on line 344 I notice in my Dynamic Extensions section of php.ini there are no extensions called for; if that helps. Joomla works fine, but when adding components or modules the problems start. One component author made a test for the mysql_real_escape_string and I think avoided using it then the component worked. I think that's probably not the best solution.
