That did the trick! Thank you very much. BTW, the RPM file appears to have installed /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so file. I suspect that this is the module that you referred to?? As far as I can tell, my php.ini file was not modifed by the install. Nonetheless, everything seems to work now. Thanks again for your help. I was quite frustrated... Take care.
