[Solved] Call to undefined function mysql_connect() error

[dougconran]

I need to be able to run Wordpress and, for that, I need PHP.

I've compiled PHP using the 'Compile PHP' option under 'Actions' and then manually built PHP (with --with-mysqli).

I then ran 'sudo -u nobody ./lsphp5 -i' and have confirmed that mysqli is present.

I've run phpinfo in a web browser which shows a whole lot of info about Mysql and which indicates that PHP itself is working.

However, when I try and connect to an existing Mysql database I get the following error message:-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/phptest.php on line 10

How can I resolve this as I need PHP with Mysql for Wordpress?

TIA
