Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() & Fatal error: Call to un

I'm a PHP and MySQL newbie.

I have a feeling a lot of you have seen this before. I'm teaching myself

PHP/MySQL trying to setup a guestbook. I'm running latest versions of

Apache, PHP and MySql on my WIN2k machine. I have them working, except, I

get the messages:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() "

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() "

when serving two of my php docs (code snippets below). I've been reading and

searching and trying all sorts of things to fix this and nothing works. I've

removed the comment from the line "extension=php_mysql.dll" in php.ini.

(Below is the MySQL section of php.ini. It's pretty standard, I'm using

defaults.) I edited my apache config file with the needed lines:


### Section 4: PHP 5 Module

#

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"

LoadModule php5_module php/php5apache2.dll

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/PHP"



When I run my test.php doc, MySQL is not listed. Do I need to enable it in

the configure command? How do I edit the configure command. Per my test.php,

It now reads:

Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--with-gd=shared"

"--enable-snapshot-build"


Online I read these comments:


Ok, your php.ini file is set to 'on' for mysql.allow_persistent, but is

mysql really enabled? Does your configure command look something like

this?

'./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'

............................................

If you don't have --with-mysql it means that you cannot use mysql functions,

so compile PHP again

with this option.





How do I edit that pesky configure command. I searched, but couldn't find an

answer. So, where am I going wrong? Thanks for reading and big thanks for

any help.
