I have Centos installed with php+apache working

this centos is local but I want to use this local server to connect to a mysql database on an internet server.

I have Firebird installed in this centos, and I can connect to it normally.

When I try to connect to Mysql this error. 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in

Note. the connection file works correctly on the server that is on the internet.

    If it is a very new php this function doesn’t even exist. Try mysqli_connect(). Obs: as you already have some questions on the site, I think it’s good to start formatting better and be clearer by putting all the relevant details (versions, how you’re testing, etc), so you can better enjoy the site.

  • Check the php versions of both servers. You can do it this way, create a file with this content: <?php phpinfo();.

    in phpinfo() I only found this reference to mysql '-without-mysql'

What happens is that your PHP is not supported by Mysql - based on --without-mysql.

If it is a Linux environment, you will need to install the php5-mysql package.

Remember also two other details:

  1. Your Mysql user needs to have privileges for external access
  2. Consider using the PDO class for database manipulation
