Re: PHP: mysql_connect() undefined function
Hello,
I seem to be having this same error with my VPS(Virtual Private Server) which runs Debian Sarge. It uses the Apache2 Web Server and PHP4. Yet, I have another VPS located at a different hosting company which hasn't given me any problems with this. Plus the VPS which is having the very same problem which your experiencing can also use PHPMyAdmin but cannot connect to the MySQL server in anyother scripts.
I have been using PHP for awhile now, and just now I have found a problem which I cannot debug. Only because it's not related to PHP coding. I'm also more fluent in Apache1.3 than I am in the Next generation Apache Servers. I am guessing it must be related to Apache2 and the way it handles php4. If I ever figure out how to fix this problem on my VPS, I will be sure to drop you an Email on how I fixed this problem.
Kevin.
