hi, i'm a newbie in php and mysql. i've just installed mysql 4.0.13 with a .tar.gz file. PHP 4.2.2 comes along with my redhat 9 installation. I can't seem to connect to mysql with any php scripts. I've noticed a package named php-mysql. I've tried to install, but it has a dependency on mysql. It couldn't detect mysql installation that i did because i didn't install it with rpm binary package. Thus, if i try to install the php-mysql package, i would need to install mysql 3.23. Is there a way that i could get the functionality of php-mysql package?
