PHP: mysql_connect() won't work via command line

Question

I have a script which calls mysql_connect() to connect to a MySQL DB. When I run the script in a browser, it works. However, when I run it from a command line

Answer 1

Please make sure this line appears in php.ini

extension=php_mysql.dll

Please note that the php.ini used in command line may be different from the php.ini used by apache.
