Hi there,

I am getting an error of mysql_connect function undefined when running a command line script for Eclipse, both on debugging or run mode (I have substituted the full path by ...):

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in .../mysql.inc.php on line 8

Executed directly from command line, the script works without this problem.

This is on an Ubuntu 11.10 box.

I have set on Preferences/PHP/PHP Executables the following parameters:

Executable path: /usr/bin/php
PHP ini file: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

At first I did not included the ini file, but then I did to check if it solves the error without success.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot in advance,

It seems that You are running configuration that have no needed module loaded.
Run phpinfo and review configuration and paths, that should give you enought
info to solve issue with mysql.

It is a well-known/notorious issue...

FYI
Bug 339547 - add "Use system default php.ini configuration" in EXE prefs
Bug 347618 - Additional PHP .ini files not parsed

For eclipse PDT which php.ini is it picking up for PHP scripts - Stack Overflow
...

It is a bug of pdt.

Hi dominik,

If I run phpinfo() from within Eclipse, no mysql string is showed as expected: given the problem I have it is clear that within Eclipse there is no mysql support. But the question is why?.

Even when I explicitly set the same php.ini file that uses the cli php command on the same system and it does has mysql support.
