Your PHP server doesn't have the MySQL module loaded or you can't use the mysql_(p)connect functions.

Yes, but is mysql listed among the extensions supported? It should be
roughly halfway down the page. Also check the value of Loaded
Configuration File (the seventh item from the top of the page generated
by phpinfo()). Does it point to the version of php.ini that you have
been checking?

the php version is 5.2.5 and the connection script has this line only

if (!function_exists('mysql_connect') || !function_exists('mysql_pconnect')

but it doesnt make any difference i guess!!

You may have earlier version of PHP, should be at least v4,
Try changing "mysql_pconnect" to "mysql_connect" in your connection script.

phpinfo() is running fine. i checked the extension in php.ini and found that ";" was already removed.

Sounds like MySQL wasn't installed. The easiest way to install MySQL,
PHP and a web server is through WampServer
http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php - installs everything you need.
