OK, so I've gone ahead and done a fresh install of RH 7.0.  I went and go the most 
recent versions of MySQL and PHP that I could find.  Here is what I did to configure 
both of em:

    MySQL is compiled first with:
            configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

            make
            make install

    Next PHP is tackled

            configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

            make
            make install

I then do a mysql_install_db and then start the mysql daemon.

All of these tasks seem to compete.  I write a simple script.  Here is the whole thing:

    #!/usr/local/bin/php -q
    <?php
    echo "Hello World\n";
    mysql_connect("localhost","root");
    mysql_select_db("ingram");
    $result=mysql_queary("SELECT * FROM books WHERE ISBN LIKE '0000%'");
    echo "Title is:  mysql_result($result,1,'TITLE');
    ?>

Everything works fine until I add the mysql_queary statement.  If I just have:
    
    echo "Hello World\n";
    mysql_connect("localhost","root");
    mysql_select_db("ingram");

and run this I get no errors or warnings.  Why can't I queary my MySQL database?  Can 
I not see the forsest for the trees? ;-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
