Strange CSS/php/mysql problem

[jkorman]

Hi,

I'm a total newbe.  I set up a test server with redhat 9.0 which includes apache 2.0.40, mysql 3.23.54a-11 & php 4.2.2-17, also php-mysql 4.2.2-17.  The CMS made simple install went through with no trouble.  When viewing the default CMS made simple page, I noticed the css didn't seem to be applied.  Upon further investigation, which included looking at www.mywebpage.com/stylesheet.php?templateid=16 to see what it did, it gave me an error that it did not recognize the "mysql_real_escape_string()" funtion.  I spent several hours today trying to figure out what to do.  In frustration I changed the code in the stylesheet.php file from "mysql_real_escape_string()" to the older "mysql_escape_string()" function, and the css loads fine now.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jeff

mysql_real_escape_string is supported in PHP version 4.3.0 and higher:

mysql_real_escape_string
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

Shouldn't the software requirements then be updated to 4.3?

Thanks.
