Hey, I just upgraded to php5 and since when I try to use the mysql_* functions it says the function doesn't exist.
What could cause php to not see certain functions?

I can see this becomming a common question.
The most likely cause for this problem is that you have not read any documentation regarding the chages in PHP5 from PHP4.

AFAIK you have to enable it. Are you using windows? i supose you have to activate the dll it in the php.ini in windows, or compile it with mysql in linux.
Now PHP 5 has SQLite native.

Oh no. Sorry if it sounded like that. But it would be good to get a php 5 FAQ up since it would be of great use to a lot of people - saying whats been added, whats changed, guide to OO, look at new functions, how to install it side-by-side with 4.3.8 etc etc. Just general questions that i think A LOT of people will be asking about in the next few weeks/months.
