Re: PHP/MYSQL

Thanks goes out to Michael W. who asked the obvious question: "Have you tried to see if mysql is working?" Well, I hadn't. I just assumed since I didn't see the mysql section of the phpinfo output, that it wouldn't. When I installed phpmyadmin, it worked beautifully. When I reloaded my phpinfo page, it displayed the mysql section. Go figure!
