Re: still without-mysql after yum install php-mysql

[Tim McGeary <tmm8@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think phpinfo() looks at the httpd.conf file to determine which 
modules it has installed.  I looked in the /etc/php.ini file.  In the 
extension_dir, I have the correct directory where modules reside, and 
the couple of modules I installed with yum are residing there

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules"

Then I found the Dynamic Extensions area which says:

; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
;   extension=modulename.extension
;
; For example:
;
;   extension=msql.so

So I put in:

extension=mysql.so
extension=mysqli.so

but no luck.

Then I read:

;;;;
; Note: packaged extension modules are now loaded via the .ini files
; found in the directory /etc/php.d; these are loaded by default.
;;;;

So I looked in /etc/php.d and see the .ini files of modules I just 
installed via yum.  So it looks like I've done everything correctly, 
except PHP is not seeing the dynamic modules I loaded.   What should I 
try next?

But if it really is the httpd.conf that I need to edit, how does that 
interact with PHP?
