Re: Missing mysql_connect()?

I'd like to also know the answer to your problem. I get the same error. I have a plain 7.0 RH installation, Apache from the install of RH, PHP4 from the RH and mysql that I compiled. The problem I believe is that php does not know what to do with mysql. I'm trying to get it working with recompiling php but I'm not sure what I need to do to get mysql.so used by php. I have tried from the README.SELF-CONTAINED-EXTENSIONS Just to show you how easy it is to create a self-contained extension, we will convert an embedded extension into a self-contained one. Install PHP and execute the following commands. $ mkdir /tmp/newext $ cd /tmp/newext You now have an empty directory. We will copy the files from the mysql extension: $ cp -rp php-4.0.X/ext/mysql/* . It is time to finish the module. Run: $ phpize You can now ship the contents of the directory - the extension can live completely on its own. The user instructions boil down to $ ./configure \ [--with-php-config=/path/to/php-config] \ [--with-mysql=MYSQL-DIR] $ make install The MySQL module will either use the embedded MySQL client library or the MySQL installation in MYSQL-DIR. What to do after that is a mystery to me... When I try to configure php like below I get that error. ./configure --with-mysql ./configure: whether: command not found ./configure: 6: Bad file descriptor ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: line 746: syntax error near unexpected token `shared"' ./configure: line 746: `shared"' thanks, Ken Fred Ross wrote: > I wasn't clear in my earlier message: I configured PHP to use MySQL > ('configured MySQL') with --with-mysql. > > Fred Ross > s.k.a.
