Re: PHP, MySQL, * Mandrake 8.1

Ultimately, I am trying to use PHP from Apache. You've almost definitely hit on my problem because I am not sure how to answer your question. If I call a script from the web server, I get the same error about undefined function. Is this a case of not giving the right switch to the PHP configuration script? Is there a library file I can simply move? I would like to use a module in the end. jce Fred wrote: > Are you installing php as cgi or as an apache module?
