PHPRunner General questions

Hi!
I'm trying out PHPRunner. I got it working up to the login page. But I get the following error when clicking on the links on the main page.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program files\PHPRunner\Output\include\dbconnection.php on line 9
Is this error connected to my version of PHP? Or is it MySQL that is causing the problem?
I tried connecting to the database using the PHPRunner script but i get the same error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program files\PHPRunner\Output\phprunner.php on line 42.
I'm a newbie in both PHP and MySQL, and I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
PHP needs to be set up for working with MySQL.
to do this open file windows/php.ini in some text editor.

  1. Find ;extension=php_mysql.dll string and remove ;
  2. Find extension_dir = and make sure that here is an actual link to php_mysql.dll.
  3. Copy libmysql.dll into the Windows system directory
