Question

I have html file with php code in it. It contains code to connect to mysql database.

When i run it, it returns me an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() 

Everything works fine if file extension is php.

Also, just to mention that using .htaccess I have rewritten file extension.

Also some functions, like include and echo work fine.

Can you help me please how to handle this?

Update: Here is the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^item/(.*) item.html/$1
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) page.html/$1
RewriteRule ^page2/(.*) page2.html/$1
RewriteRule ^browse/(.*) browse.html/$1

RewriteRule ^(.*).txt /page/error.html

ErrorDocument 400 /page/error.html
ErrorDocument 401 /page/error.html
ErrorDocument 403 /page/error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /page/error.html
ErrorDocument 500 /page/error.html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.htm index.html.var
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
