MySQL for PHP requirements
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 4:06 pm
Should be simple question, but everything I find on it gives tutorials not answers.
Is MySQL required to be installed on a machine for PHP to be able to run with MySQL support?
I want to reconfigure PHP using a --with-mysql or --with-mysqli, but don't want to have to setup MySQL on the server. This means I won't have a path for either of those potential commands. The reason: the database I want access to is already running on another server.
I didn't want to try to reconfigure on a Friday afternoon and break things before I go home, so am leaving this task for Monday AM.
