I have CakePHP (cake_1.2.2.8120) and EasyPHP (3.0) installed on Windows Vista Ultimate. I followed the "baking" tutorials online and successfully set the database connection with the "cake bake" command from the CLI.
I baked the controller for my "Users" table using the "php cake.php bake controller Users" command - worked fine. However, when I tried baking the view similarly, I got this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Web\EasyPHP
\www\cake\cake\libs\model\datasources\dbo\dbo_mysql.php on line 374'
Also, the MySQL module is enabled for PHP on the phpMyAdmin page (web), but I can't find it in the CLI (using "php -m" from the command line) even though I've uncommented the "extension=php_mysql.dll" line in the php.ini file.
How can I fix this?
Grab XAMPP which has Apache with the MySQL and PHP modules setup and working together, as well at the MySQL and command-line versions. It just unzips to any directory, so it won't mess up any other Apache installs you have. Just be careful of any port conflicts between the different installations.
