<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>You're right... I put an <SPAN lang=EN>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...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>there is a function_exists if

[Xerte] Install problem with mysql_connect<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm just trying to install Xerte and it's failing with a
message about "<FONT face="Times New Roman">Sorry your PHP install lacks the
functions mysql_connect and mysql_query, and without these this installer cannot
create the database.</FONT>" but I use mysql_connect in my php programs
now. Does anyone know what I can check?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
