mysql libraries

ive acquired a box with red hat 9, with php and mysql pre-installed but no apache. so i downloaded the apache binary and installed. i notice that the php that was compiled had the configure command: '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' i dunno what this means, but what i do know is that mysql isnt working with php, im getting undefined function when i try to do mysql stuff. mysql is definately installed on the box, ive used the admin tool to create databases. so how can i link mysql to php? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
