Do you mean you are getting an 'unsupported or undefined function 
mysql_connect()' error from PHP? This means that PHP hasn't been 
compiled with mysql support. You'll have to recompile using (for 
example)

	--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql/client/library

If you are using one of the PHP precompiled binaries, well, I don't 
know which ones have been compiled with mysql support. The Windows 
version is, I think.

If this is a PHP-related error, you might try asking on the PHP list 
for compilation/configuration help.
