Re: PHP, MySQL, * Mandrake 8.1

Good Call. I installed the development packages and php configured, compiled and installed properly. I am now left with what seems like a simple problem, which I have not successfully tackled. If I run my program by typing: php test.php, it does not work. If I do: ./php test.php it does work. I am assuming the "make install" didn't do what I expected, but I haven't found the problem yet. Any ideas? (Still getting the same error: Undefined function as described below. I checked for copies all over the filesystem and compared them using md5sum. All appear to be the same. I am puzzled.) jce Fred wrote: > I would venture to guess that mysql is installed as a binary distribution. > PHP needs the sources in order to compile with mysql support.
