hi, i'm trying to use phpmyadmin to connect to my mysql database, but it says that the mysql extension can't be loaded. I've uncommented the line in the extensions section of php.ini that has "mysql.so" (i'm running debian linux, with apache). Using the <?php phpinfo();?> script, i found something interesting in the configure command section... '--without-mysql' I installed apache2 with apt-get and im 99% sure the php came with it....i installed mysql with apt-get using the package mysql-server....any ideas on whats wrong? (by the way, mysql.so does exist...is there a certain place it has to be?...i copied it to a few different places a while ago hoping it would work (and it didnt), so i don't know what the original location is..)
thanks for the help in advance!
the mysql extension (not working)....

ehh...
apt-get is a debian linux utility that downloads and installs a package automatically for you
but...i tried installing php and it didnt work...it says libxml2 isnt installed...but it is....*ahem* i think ill ask that on linuxquestions.org then get back to you after i reinstall php...im sorta a linux noob, as well as php xD
mm i had debian once...i installed it from stage 1...took forever to install xD im too impatient to install it again but its somethin to think about when i get bored xD
anyway, i fixed it...i reinstalled php and apache, not using apt-get....unfortunately, i couldn't get the php5 setup to work, so i'm using php4...i had php4 in the first place anyway...so im all good now
thanks guys...now to start a new thread about how to organize my mysql database
