I think you're a bit confused, you don't login with that command.  Before
running it again check ps -aux | grep mysql...to see if mysql is acutally
started.
if you need to re-run then use ->  'safe_mysqld --user=mysql &'  - The &
will spawn the process in the background.

then you can log in with
/path/to/mysql/bin/mysql -u user -p
      enter password at prompt

Then you should see ...
mysql>

I am completely new to php. I have installed php on redhat linux 9 by rpm
package. I have also installed mysql with php4 which comes with redhat
linux 9.
php is running fine on linux with apache server. But there is one problem
with mysql. Whenever I try to login with safe_start it starts and ends at
the same time. So no mysql prompt appears.
Pls help
