Hi.
PHP5 does not come with the mysql libraries, hence it has no idea what the mysql_connect function is.

You have two choices, go back to php4 or recompile php5 and add "--with-mysql=/path to the mysql libraries" to the configure options.

hth.

[edit] just noticed you are using windows
Take a look at this http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/...23162/fid/1150
