PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Jan 11 2005 23:15:42) (DEBUG) mysql-4.1.7 both installed from ports FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
When I take a look at a phpinfo page, it shows no mention that MySQL exists. AFAIK this ought not to be so.
I installed php last night (again, from ports) and remembered that there oughtta be support for mysql. So this is how I built php, though now I'm wondering if I installed it correctly since it seems braindead to the existence of MySQL
make with-mysql=yes install clean
I don't have a FreeBSD box at work with me at the moment. But check out the following (Im assuming one to be correct) /usr/ports/lang/php-extentions /usr/ports/lang/php4-extentions
If both are wrong, it is somewhere very similar.
I'm sorry, you probably think I'm being dense... but I (honestly) don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that one (or other, or both) must *also* be installed for php to have any clue that MySQL exists?
yes and its /usr/ports/lang/php4-extentions
when you run make install it will give you a listing of all the extions that you can install for php just slect mysql from the list
A colleague has an identical setup and - AFAIK - didn't install either one on this or prior installations of FreeBSD/MySQL/php.
Before i updated php to 4.3.10 i didnt have to any of the extions installed for my setup to work . then after i upgraded php i had all kinds of issues nuthing worked,I found out that for 4.3.10 to work the way i whanted it to i had to install just about every extion in the list. along with recompiling php its self to inable the extions that i needed.
If this is a dense and utterly silly question then please excuse the braindead nature of it.
not at all.
Today has been a long and frustrating day.
Thanks for the ongoing help and advice -Colin
