Whew, I was stuck for awhile with the same problem when I upgraded to PHP5 :cry:. Don't feel stupid.

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

I have mysql in my phpinfo() and the php.ini file says that I don't need an extension for mysql - its auto enabled....but my scripts are still unable to use mysql...why?

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

depends on the error your getting. Can you connect to mysql from the CLI client?

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

The error I'm getting while trying to set up PunBB is:

This PHP environment doesn't have MySQL support built in. MySQL support is required if you want to use a MySQL database to run this forum. Consult the PHP documentation for further assistance.

and the error I'm getting while trying to set up netjuke2 is:

Failure - PHP Extensions: Netjuke requires that several PHP Extensions be present in order to run in this environment. The following required extensions were not found and will have to be installed before continuing:
    * mysql

As mentioned I can see mysql support in phpinfo(), but I do not know how to use the command line interface of mysql or php.

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

The mysql extension is not automatically enabled, no matter what your php.ini says (even though mine doesn't say anything like that).  You'll have to enable it yourself.

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

I've also updated the bad link, but I still get the same error, even though the link has clearly been changed (check the URL in the previous post if you don't know what I'm talking about). This is driving me nuts because, before I upgraded this morning, my site worked perfectly.

Thanks,

Re: PHP 5 AND MYSQL

Oh, and for those who are wondering what the error actually is, this is what I get on every page making a mysql query:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect()
