Yeah thanks for the phpinfo() tip. I guess I know that MySQL isn't working
with PHP cos I'd already checked that. Bit silly I presumed that installing
it all at the same time as installing Linux it would all work together.
In the package manager for RedHat, under the Web Server Section, PHP is
listed for installation, along with a few modules to go with it (ie. LDAP
and IMAP, and some stuff to do with PostgreSQL), but there is no option to
install a MySQL module with it. Seems a bit silly really.
The version of PHP is 4.22.2-8.0.5 (4.2 basically), and I don't know what
version MySQL was built into PHP from, but it doesn't seem to be on this
version.
I simplified my code to just this, and got the same message, so I don't
think adding my own code will help:
<?
if ($connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "[username]", "[password]"))
echo "hooray!";
else
echo "oopsie!";
?>
I don't know what you think about all this, maybe I should download
distributions and install them myself, but if I can sort it without having
to that would be great as I'm only just starting to get my head around Linux
after all these years.
Thanks for your help guys :)
