[Wolves] PHP/MySQL help please

[Peter Cannon]

Hi All

I've spent half the morning googling for this problem I can find lots of 
similar requests but all the answers are for Windows machines which is of no 
help at all.

I am fairly new to MySQL (Never used PHP before) but I can log in to MySQL and 
do some basic stuff from a terminal. I have a couple of those teach yourself 
Mysql and PHP, MySql in 24 hour type books but they don't have problem 
solving sections in them.

I'm doing this on my Suse 9.3 box, I have installed Apache which installs to a 
differant location ( /srv ) than I've been used too this is working fine if I 
do localhost the Apache test page is displayed. I mention the differant 
install location in case its relevant.

I have the latest Suse rpms of MySQL, this works fine from a terminal.

Having followed the tutorial for creating an accounting database it moved on 
to creating what I would call a front end in PHP.

Using Yast I installed both PHP4 and PHP5 with additional modules. I was not 
sure what I needed so loaded just about everything to be on the safe side.

The book I have gave a walkthrough on creating a mysql_connect.inc file, if I 
run this in my browser nothing happens, no errors or anything the browser 
says done but the display is blank there should be a login screen to the 
Accounts database.

I tried running PHPmyAdmin but I get an error page saying "Unable to load 
MySQL_Module" the link to the help file does not list this error.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
