How did you install php?  What package are you using?

[poise]

the package I have  installed is version 5.0.4. which I DL 'ed from php.org. I did a manual install as that was the method recommended by the included install instruction.

I did origannly have mysql ver5 as well, but due to problems I have changed that to ver 4.1.12

It looks like the mysql driver isn't installed, which seems weird, because I'm pretty sure the php.org packages have it by default.

Best thing to do is a make a new php page called phpinfo.php.  In there, put the following code:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then load the page in your browser.  Search for mysql.  If nothing comes up, then it's not installed for some strange reason or another.

I have used the phpinfo() call, and it works fine,and I have also so used php with no prob following various tutorials in a book I bought. However, after doing some reading at phpnet and mysql, it appears that I have a experimental setup, I went for these packages php5/mysql5/apache2 because of the book I have on php5 web development, so I took my setup from there.
( lol I should know better, than to use the latest releases, especially when its an area thats new to me, but I wanted to follow the exersises in the book without getting errors)

I am going to uninstall it all and start again, this time with stable releases php 4.3.11 / mysql 4.1.12, I may just take apache2 off as well as I have read that some applications have reported errors using it.

Ill get back to you and let you know how I get on after I have re-installed it all.

thx for your time
