[LIP] Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in php

Hi,

It might be something very small I am missing, but this has now eaten up a
lot of my time. I am sure some of you will surely know what is wrong. When I
try to connect to a mysql database, I get the following error:

Fatal: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/index.php on
line 4

I have tried with libapache2-mod-php4 (from both ubuntu and debian unstable)
and libapache2-mod-php5. Exactly the same error. What am I missing? However,
I noticed that the libapache2-mod-php4 and libapache-mod-php5 from the debian
unstable are configured as --without mysql (an lot of other things) while
that on ubuntu is configured with --with mysql.

Currently I have the ubuntu package installed.

Regards.
