Hi, I'm new to php and am trying to connect to mysql like this:

<?php
$conn = msql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");
echo $conn;
?>

But when i do I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function msql_connect() in C:\www\PHP_mysql\testconn.php on line 2

I wonder why?

Ouch, a simple typo...

$conn = msql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");

should be

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");
