[Sussex] FC5 - PHP not connecting to MySQL

Ronan, thanks for the response.

A bit more info 'yum search php-mysql' lists the module.

I can connect to the database, in a terminal window, using a
username/password

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "mypassword) or die
..................................
?>

Gives call to undefined function mysql_connect

As in the earlier email: phpinfo shows that PHP was built "--without-mysql"
which I think could be the clue.

Where should I execute "./configure --with-mysql=shared" and where will the
mysql.so file be created?

Thanks, Brendan
