Using the OS's software/package manager such package on FreeBSD, yast on some Linux, add/remove programs on Windows, etc.? Did you compile any of it - MySQL or PHP - yourself? > version 5.2.14. PHP info tells me this that the Client API library version > is 5.1.51 and the header version is 5.0.51a. This just means that there's a mismatch within the PHP. If you compiled from source for any of it, PHP's MySQL & MySQLi extensions depends on the MySQL headers and client library. Thus, MySQL client has to be compiled first before you can compile the PHP's MySQL/MySQLi extensions. This applies to all platforms if you're doing your compilation from source. If you didn't compile any of it - both MySQL and PHP - then the problem lies within your OS's software/package manager. Without knowing what you're using, we can't really tell what happens. Some Linux distributions do things differently. I'm not well versed in Linux but many others here on this list can help you with it. I suggest you 'uninstall' both PHP & MySQL. Then reinstall MySQL 1st and PHP 2nd. Also, just a bit curious... where did you get the MySQL & PHP? I hope directly from the official source... ;) > > Does this help identify a solution? > > Thanks and best wishes > > tholland <snip> Regards, Tommy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
