Undefined function mysql_connect()

Question

I have ran aptitude install php5-mysql (and restarted MySQL/Apache 2), but I am still getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined

Answer 1

Well, this is your chance! It looks like PDO is ready; use that instead.

Try checking to see if the PHP MySQL extension module is being loaded:

If it's not there, add the following to the php.ini file:

extension=php_mysql.dll
