[LUNI] Advice on how to troubleshoot mysql_connect() errors...

[Erik Costlow]

Did you compile this version of PHP yourself?
That message indicates that his version of PHP does not have mysql support.

PHP needs the "--with-mysql" flag at compile time (--with-mysql=/headers
is better). Another good flag is "--with-mysql-sock"
