installing php and mysql on windows

[Darkness]

hey all, i think this fits in this forum

Im running a windows system with IIS installed, i have also installed mysql and php but when i try to use mysql_connect in a php page it says no such function, i have had this working before, i seem to remember having to add some stuff to the buttom of the php.ini file but i cant remember what and cant seem to find any websites

does anyone know how to get this working

The new PHP versions have MySQL capabilities already built in, so it should work out of the box. Whats does phpinfo say when you try that?

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

It might be worth using an Apache bundle such as XAMPP, as it works out of the box:
