RE: [PHP-INST] compiling php

Hi, Well, if MySQL wasn't running, you'd get a different error (like "can't connect to....."). The actual error indicates that the MySQL function have not been installed in the binary, most probably because it failed to find the relevant libraries. I'm pretty sure the configure script ought to die if you run it with misleading parameters, but I'm not sure. Try running Configure --with-mysql make clean make make install or Configure --with-msql=/usr/local make clean make make install Either of those should sort your problem out.

Excuse if this sort of obvious thing, but is mysql running on your system?

I've been trying to compile php as a CGI so that I can alter large databases directly. I'm using PHP4.0.4, MySQL 3.23.30-gamma, RedHat7.0, Intel Celery 633. I've compiled both of the packages. I configured php with the --with-mysql tag pointing to my mysql install directory(/usr/local/mysql). Once a make is done I believe it defaults to putting php in the /usr/local/bin directory. I write a script including "#!/usr/local/bin/php -q" at the top. Next I open my php tags "<?php". I write a simple script to connect to my mysql deamon, queary the database, and return the results. When I run the script it keeps claiming "mysql_connect is undefined". I compiled correctly, why is this happening? Bert
