The reason I asked about whether you were using PHP as a cgi or apache module is because you were reporting problems calling php scripts from the command line. This is not possible with the apache module version and could explain your difficulties.
As for your continued problems with installation, doing a make clean should give you a clean enough slate to work with. Your problem, however, may not be as clear cut as it first seems. It occurs to me that you still suffer from an undefined function error when compiling with --with-mysql, which should not happen because PHP uses its built in mysql libraries and headers. I'm wondering if you installed PHP from RPM initially and whether you are using the source files contained in the PHP development RPM to compile from source? Personally, I prefer not to use RPMs for this type of install because I do not have control over everything and cannot be sure (without much investigating) whether things were done as I wanted them to be. On the other hand, the people who put these RPMs together are certainly aware that mysql, php and apache are commonly installed to work together. If you want to give the RPMs one more chance I would suggest removing all of the associated RPMs and installing the binary RPMs in this order: MySQL Apache PHP and check to see if your mysql functions work without further intervention. If they do not, I would recommend removing all of the RPMs and downloading and compiling the latest stable releases of MySQL, Apache and PHP from source. I would not recommend compiling from the RPM development sources. If you choose to go this path, there is a good tutorial for getting these packages to work together at: http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/page1.html To be sure, there is almost certainly some way to make your system work with what you are currently using, but it would not neccessarily be easier to do it that way. IMHO it is always best, even for a begginer, to use the approach in the above article for two reasons: It gives you total control over the installation and configuration process, and It allows you to learn everything that is required to make these programs work correclty together.
