Now, before someone marks this as a duplicate, I've been looking around on the internet for the last two days and have been unable to find a resolve for my issue.

All I'm trying to do is simply get mysql to run with php. But, no matter what I do, it still says that both mysql_connect() and mysqli_connect() are undefined functions.

I've tried installing both php5-mysql and php5-mysqlnd. I've tried configuring php.ini to enable the extension (I'd prefer to use the absolute path, but I cannot find mysql.so's absolute path anywhere on the internet).

I've tried uninstalling and purging all php/apache/mysql installations and reinstalling Apache, MySQL and PHP using this installation process http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-lamp-on-ubuntu

And, people keep asking if I remembered to restart apache, yes, I did. No change.

Any light anyone can shed on this I'd be incredibly grateful for.

Show the output of

  1. php -v
  2. php -m | grep mysql
  3. dpkg -s libapache2-mod-php5 | grep Status
  4. dpkg -s php5-mysql | grep Status
  5. dpkg -s php5-mysqlnd | grep Status
  6. messages in /var/log/apache2/error.log right after restarting apache

By the way, the path to mysql.so is probably /usr/lib/php5/20121212/mysql.so

  • As I can see, you are using outdated php version. Well, can you find mysqlnd.ini section in /etc/php5/conf.d folder? And mysqlnd.so in /usr/lib/php5/2009... ? Did you updated your repositories?

  • Yes, the repositories are up to date. As far as the files you mentioned, neither of those folder exist. Here is how the file tree looks around those directories you asked about: hastebin.com/jahahocive.avrasm

  • I can not see your screenshot - it is empty. The problem is that your command line interface gives php version 5.3.29, but apache is built to work with PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14. It seems that you installed php5 from non-ubuntu repository or built form sources whithout option --with-mysql.

  • @oleg-boden It's not a screenshot, it's a hastebin. And I've not modified the repositories at all. It's using the defaults that came with Ubuntu 14.04. If there is a newer version, what is it / how do i add it?
