This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I can't see any "mysql-devel" on http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html so I added "You can download 'headers and libraries' from MySQL." to ref.mysql insted.

Well, I'm kind of a novice with linux php and mysql, so I didn't know where to get the header files. It took me about 4 hours to finally realize that all I had to do was download and install mysql-devel. I only had mysql-server and mysql-client. I know common sense should have told me but I guess I'm a bit tired. I would just make an addition telling users that if they don't have the header files they are located in mysql-devel from mysql's site. I didn't know if it was in the PECL or PEAR stuff or what. I know you cant spell everything out for the novices because the documentation would be horrific, but that should just be a small addition that I think might make a lot of people happier :) Take care, and thanks for the best server-side scripting language, Will ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33187&edit=1
