Re: PHP Extension - newbie question

First, forget about the chroot environment, you don't need it in order to build a loadable extension. Second, I'm assuming that when you installed PHP originally, you did so from source and that you've still got that source tree around somewhere. Correct me on what ever points I got wrong... cd /path/to/php_source/ext/mysqli phpize ./configure --with-mysqli=shared,/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config make cp modules/mysqli.so /path/to/extension_dir/ Edit php.ini: Make sure your extension_dir setting exists and points to the same spot you put your new module. Add: extension=mysqli.so Restart apache Profit! -Sara
