mysql and php not working together

[ryland22]

I have mysql 4.1, apache2, and php5 installed. I installed phpmyadmin and used it just fine to create some dbases and tables. When i go to run a php page I'm getting the following error:

Call to undefined function mysql_query()

How is it that phpmyadmin is working with mysql, but my custom pages aren't?????

create a php script with the following then place this in your server root dir and then view with browser

<?phpinfo();?>

I suspect mysql in not configured --with-mysql

if it is you should see some output along the lines of

MySQL Support enabled

you have to configure or edit the php.ini file.I think this will solve your problem.

im not sure what/where to edit/add the mysql option to the php.ini file, if you cant find it, you can alway just recompile php using the --with-mysql flag

In php.ini file,do you remove the comment( from this line??

extension=php_mysql.dll
