I'm running RH 8.0, and MySQL, PHP, and Apache all seem to be working independently of one another. What I can't get to work are the links between my .php files and the MySQL server. I'm successfully publishing .html and .php pages to Apache from a user's directory. Then, after creating a MySQL account and databases for the same user, I used this command to link to the database server from the .php page: <?php $dbcnx = @mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "userpwd"); if (!$dbcnx) { echo ("<p>Unable to connect to the server at this time.</p>"); exit(); } ?> With this command, the page displays up to the spot of the command, and then dies. If I remove the @ from "@mysql_connect (thus turning on the PHP errors), I get this: " Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /home/user/public_html/index.php on line 16 I checked my phpinfo() and my php.ini, and by all appearances MySQL support has been installed for PHP (I installed all the packages at installation time). Any ideas? Dave
