Question

Basically,

I get this error in my scripts:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/login/includes/db.php on line 10

I have uncommented extension:mysql.so

I dont know why its not working, restarted everything aswell.

I am running on ubuntu 32 bit. Apache/MYSQL is installed with full permissions.

Here is my PHPInfo page:

If mysql was being properly loaded, you’d have seen something like:

additional .ini files parsed    /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini,
   /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini

If the mysql.ini (or mysqli.ini) line isn’t there, it’s not being loaded.
