[Sussex] Getting PHP to work with MySQL

[Brendan Whelan]

I have found and fixed the problem - I had (carelessly) copied the 
settings in php.ini from a 64 bit server to a 32 bit server and not 
reset the pointer to the extension directory.
On a 64 bit system the setting is extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules"
On a 32 bit system the setting is extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules"
Thanks for all the responses as they nudged me in various directions and 
made me reconsider all my settings.
