What if you *aren't* configuring PHP from source, but instead installing it from RPM? Then you don't get to specify --with-mysql= anywhere, right? PHP.net links to binary distribution site for 5.2 on http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/repoview/development.languages.group.html Downloaded following RPMs: php52-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm php52-cli-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm php52-common-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm php52-dba-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm php52-mysql-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm php52-pdo-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm MySQL isn't installed on this host. Can I just install the mysql-connector libraries and somehow tell PHP where to find the libraries, or do I have to do a full (and unneeded) MySQL install? ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 2620:149:5:c03:225:4bff:feb7:6d10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104871 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104871 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104871 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
