I just got through this exercise. My TurboLinux system had PHP, PHP-MySQL, MySQL all installed from RPMs at the initial installation. But PHP could not connect to the working MySQL. I went back to the source RPM on CD2 and unloaded those files and went through a CONFIGURE/MAKE/MAKE INSTALL process. I had problems with the default configuration wanting to do something with GD and graphics files. At this point my application requirements do not include any program generated graphics so I specified a rather long configure command that I originally found in a posting to this list entitled unixODBC/PhP/Linux....
The CONFIGURE/MAKE/MAKE INSTALL process takes a significant amount of cpu time on my MP3000/H50 so the next round will have to be done off hours. But I now have a PHP that is properly configured to use MySQL. If you want I can send you the CONFIGURE command that I saved in a shell script so I could edit it rather than retype the WHOLE command. Call me if you want to discuss this more. /Thomas Kern /(301)903-2211 -----Original Message----- From: Aria Bamdad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 18:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mysql and php Hi I downloaded the PHP3 RPM for ThinkBlue (31 bit) and installed it wihout any issues. I also installed mysql and it is functioning fine. However when I run a PHP file that has a call to mysql, something like a call to mysql_connect(...), I get a fatal error: Fatal error: call to unsupported function mysql_connect() in ... Does this RPM have the mysql support in it? Does anyone know where I can get an RPM that has been built with mysql support? I have made the necessary changes to the PHP3.INI file already and PHP is working fine otherwise. Thanks in advance.
