I am very new to web development but am required to use iis 7 and php to pull data from a remote mysql database to be displayed in a series of webpages.
I installed iis 7 along with php fine and can run phpinfo() through a .php file from a browser by going to localhost/testphp.php , however, when I tried to connect to a mysql server using the function mysql_connect in another .php file I got the error in the title.
I am running php 5.6.15 and can't find much in the way of an answer for this.
I also don't seem to have a php.ini file (let alone know if I should have one) and phpinfo() tells me that my loaded configuration file is "(none)".
I'm at my wit's end trying to find a solution to this with as little experience as I have. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? If so I would much appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you!
