Using PHP to connect to MySQL: ERROR? -


i tried running following code: (http://localhost/read.php)

<html> <body>  <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password'); if (!$link) {     die('could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'connected successfully';  if (mysql_query("create database testphp",$link))   {   echo "database created";   } else   {   echo "error creating database: " . mysql_error();   } ?>  </body> </html> 

and got following error:

fatal error: call undefined function mysql_connect() in                                     c:\program files (x86)\apachesoftware foundation\apache2.2\htdocs\read.php  on line 5 

look @ phpinfo(). mysql extensions not there.

and while @ it, drop ancient mysql_* way ow doing thing , learn how use pdo , prepared statements. it's abstraction api database connection , interaction.
