I have Apache 2 parsing and serving PHP files just fine on my winXP
box, however, when I try to add some mysql database functionality I
get a warning that looks like this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in
D:\SITES\mysql.php on line 3

I am able to connect to mysql via the terminal just fine. Due to the
error "undefined function" I wonder if I set PHP up wrong or
something. Any ideas?

Here is the code:

<?php
// basic install of MySQL 4.0.20a-nt
$mysql = mysql_connect("localhost","root","mysql");

$query = "select id, site from crypt";
          
$result = mysql_db_query("test", $query);
?>

  <tr>

    <th>Site</th>
  </tr>
<?php while ($array = mysql_fetch_row($result)) : ?>
  <tr>
    <td><?php echo $array[0] ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $array[1] ?></td>
  </tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</table>
</body>
</html>

And here is some other info that might be useful to you:
