Where do I activate mysql support?

[fabriZio]

I run php pages in IIS in cgi-mode(only pointing them to PHP.exe).

But I can't connect to database:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect( ).....

I read that I have to activate PHP with mySQL support...but where in my
scenario??

I looked at php.ini...but no results...

any help appreciated..

regards.

I did use my WinME laptop with Apache/PHP/MySQL and it worked fine - as a
module.

I've just checked my php.ini and the help page and found that you don't need
to enable it - what version of PHP are you using? Do a phpinfo(); and
examine the output - search for 'mysql' and it should turn up a section on
its own - There is something in my Linux configuration that says that
MYSQL_MODULE_TY PE is 'builtin'.... Secondly, since you are using php.exe as
a cgi with IIS, maybe that could be the problem since I'm using mine as a
php/apache module.

If I remember correctly, on http://www.php.net/downloads.php I downloaded
the larger of the two windows binaries when I had installed it on my laptop
(the 6mb zip package, not the 1mb installer)... I know they both say they
have mysql support built in, but... well... unless you got dialup it won't
hurt to download the 6mb file and install it...

I hope that gives you some food for thought... its what I would try...
