Undefined function mysql connect

Question

I tried to run "aptitude install php5-mysql" (and restarted MySQL/Apache 2) and I am facing an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/validate.php on line 21

phpinfo() says the /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini file have been parsed.

Answer 1

Check PHP MYSQL module is loaded or not

<?php

    phpinfo();

?>

if it is not add the following

extension=php_mysql.dll
