HI I just installed php 5.0.4 only to find out that no support for mysql is no longer built in. Why would they do this as it has really stuffed up a lot of my stuff. What would I need to do to reconfigure php so that it is compatible with mysql

the change was made due to a licensing snafu made by MySQL just prior to 5's release. The license has subsequently fixed, but the "damage" has been done... as for getting mysql support back in, if you're on windows, you simply download the zip installer (last I checked) which will have the php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll files in it.. you edit your php.ini to load whichever extension you need and restart the server..

I don't use 5, but how would you fix it on linux? Basically the same way, just recompile php?
