[Xerte] Install problem with mysql_connect

[Steve Ricketts]

You're right... I put an echo function_exists("mysql_connect"); as the fist line and it returns nothing.  This was a fresh xampp install and I already had php installed on IIS.  Wondering if that's confusing things.  I did the "for XAMPP people" link first and get a blank page.  I tried the full install and that's where I'm seeing this error... should have said that earlier...

there is a function_exists if statement that checks for them. Maybe the boolean value your system returns isn't what it expects?

I'm just trying to install Xerte and it's failing with a message about "Sorry your PHP install lacks the functions mysql_connect and mysql_query, and without these this installer cannot create the database." but I use mysql_connect in my php programs now.  Does anyone know what I can check?

Thanks,

sr
