Hi Jeremy, Probably you don't have all of php installed; you can pick it up in php.net and install the full php libs. Or in your php ini file, the php lib path can be incorrect, well these are just thoughts as I don't use red hat for some time (SuSE Forever). Hope you figure it out, Pedro -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Wood [mailto:jeremy@basinbroadband.com] Sent: sexta-feira, 22 de Novembro de 2002 18:35 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: MySQL connectiviy Hello all, I'm new to PHP and would like to start using mySQL (or postgresql) but I keep having one problem. In a php file i have a simple call to the function mysql_connect() but i constantly get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() MySQL support was installed with --with-mysql=shared,/usr' This is the redhat 8.0 default. I guess it just can't find the function library. Any pointers any one could give would be really appreciated.
