MySQL Allow persistent links: Yes Persistent links: 0/Unlimited Total links: 0/Unlimited Client API version: 3.21.33 Compilation definitions: MYSQL_INCLUDE=@MYSQL_INCLUDE@ MYSQL_LFLAGS=@MYSQL_LFLAGS@ MYSQL_LIBS=@MYSQL_LIBS@ Mail me for a link to see a phpinfo() output with mysql enabled. And of course you'll get an error message if you try to call a mysql function when support is not enabled.
