John Hi All, I really need some help interfacing PHP5 with a MySQL database. I'm running MySQL 4.0.21, Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 on a desktop PC running Windows ME. I've followed all the appropriate installation instructions and can get the server up and running and executing php files fine. Also, the I can use mysql to manipulate the SQL database. My problem is that none of the php mysql functions appear to be accessible from my php scripts. For example: <?php if (function_exists("mysql_connect")) echo "yes"; else echo "no"; ?> fails every time. It's like the sql access functions don't exist. I've copied libmysql.dll and php5ts.dll into the windows/system directory, made various changes to php.ini etc... but nothing. What am I doing wrong?. Ta, Dave
