To sumize: The PHP supplied in RedHat 8.0 aparently does not include support for mysql upon successfull install of mysql and php. I get the undefined function error from PHP. People are telling me to rebuild PHP to include the MySql support. Thank you all for your help I'm looking into rebuilding PHP but......... shouldn't the dynamic shared object (mysql.so) be loaded at run time by the runtime linker (dlopen(mysql.so) ) when PHP needs it (and the .so is in the php.ini file)? I did uncomment the extension mysql.so in the php.ini file. Maybe (for the heck of it) check out in the source 'n find out. Just wondering.......... Thanks again........
