hi. i installed apache, mysql, and php4 using the .deb packages by this: apt-get install apache mysql-serve php4-mysql
and although the "phpinfo()" test works to confirm that apache *is*
working with php, i'm unable to confirm whether php and mysql works
together. this i found out later when i created some sample php
scripts. i was using "mysql_connect()" and i would get the error
message that "mysql_connect()" is an undefined function. i searched
"www.faqts.org" for answers and was told that either i have to put:
dl("mysql.so");
on top of every php script i create or recompile php using the
"--with-mysql" switch. i tried the first option and got:
Unable to load dynamic library '$(prefix)/lib/php4/mysql.so'
- $(prefix)/lib/php4/mysql.so: cannot open shared object file:
so my other option is to recompile but i'm not using the source so i
must be missing some .deb packages. the question is which package?
