Re: PHP install w/MySQL difference question

Well, I just went ahead and did it without specifying a /path/to/dir: pushd apache_mod_php-6-2 ./configure --with-xml --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql (configure exited fine, but gave me the warning that I was using PHP's built-in MySQL library and that later modules added would probably not work) make sudo make install And that was that. It was as simple as everyone had told me! Shout-outs and mad props to Brian Mauter and Matt Schroebel for helping me decide to just DO IT instead of wrangling my mind over the implications of not specifying a /path/to/header/dir for MySQL. I'll worry about installing additional modules later. Erik On Tuesday, November 27, 2001, at 02:08 PM, Erik Price wrote:

Hello, [The contents of this email contain quite an annoying amount of output from the command line, but please note that I have deleted most of the unnecessary output and tried to comment the parts that I felt were necessary.] I am curious as to what the difference will be if I choose to install PHP4 with MySQL functionality, using only the built-in MySQL support. If I specify the /path/to/mysql in my ./configure option --with-mysql, then I get the following output: localhost:~/tmp/apache_mod_php-6-2/php$ ./configure --with-xml --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql creating cache ./config.cache ...

I posted to this list earlier, asking for advice on making this 'libphp4.so' file, but it seems no one knew the answer. So, now I am wondering what the net effect would be of not specifying any directory argument to the '--with-mysql' configure option. In other words, I would do (note the change in the ./configure options): localhost:~/tmp/apache_mod_php-6-2/php$ ./configure --with-xml --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql creating cache ./config.cache ...

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Thank you for using PHP. localhost:~/tmp/apache_mod_php-6-2/php$ I need to get PHP and MySQL running by the end of the day or my boss is going to kill me. If I just use this form of PHP (using built-in MySQL support), will I be able to re-compile the version with the appropriate /path/to/mysql at a later date? Will the PHP code that I write for this (built-in MySQL) version of PHP4 work in a later version of PHP4 where I have indeed specified a directory? Thanks to any who can help me -- and I apologize to those who are becoming annoyed with these questions! Once I get this up and running I will do my best to never bother anyone again! -- Erik
