title: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() after upgrading to php5.5.50A4
body: <p>I have upgraded to PHP 5.5.0Alpha 4 via the windows binaries: <a href="http://windows.php.net/qa/" rel="nofollow">http://windows.php.net/qa/</a></p>
  
  <p>the php_mysql.dll is present and uncommented in my php.ini but it's still throwing an undefined function.</p>
  
  <p>The reason for using the development package is to prove to a group of "developers" that the mysql_* is officially generating depreciation warnings within this development package. BUT I cannot call the mysql_* functions.</p>
  
  <pre><code>error_reporting(E_ALL);
   ini_set("display_errors", 1); 
  mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "xxx"); 
  mysql_select_db("test");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>errors: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The errors should be generated when a successfull connection to a mysql database is established.  Proof: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ul>
    <li>MySQL   . This extension is now deprecated, and deprecation warnings will be generated
    when connections are established to databases via mysql_connect(),
    mysql_pconnect(), or through implicit connection: use MySQLi or PDO_MySQL
    instead (<a href="https://wiki.php.net/rfc/mysql_deprecation" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.php.net/rfc/mysql_deprecation</a>). (Adam)</li>
