Could be a version conflict or it could be that PHP is looking for MySQL where it belongs instead of where Debian hid it or... The possibilities are endless. >btw, i'm considering giving myself a christmas gift and thought i should >get Meloni's "PHP Essentials". any thoughts? It's a good book to get started, but most people tend to outgrow it pretty quickly... I think the PHP 4 Bible is a better deal, but I'm *very* biased :-) Better to read some unbiased reviews, and thumb through them in a bookstore.
