disregard if you've already done this... you might want to do a quick php app with phpinfo, to determine if/what version of mysql php sees.. it's quite possible that php isn't seeing/interfacing with mysql. php needs to not only be built with a version of mysql, but the php.ini file also needs to be setup correctly. -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Jochem Maas <jochem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Feb 5, 2005 8:46 AM To: Sarah <weregirl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Problems with PHP and MySQL Sarah wrote: > Hi, > > I'm relatively new to PHP, but have already written a few functional > web-based scripts.
