Okay, there is no "mysql.so" module in /usr/lib/php4 (my extensions dir), which basically says to me that no matter what i do i won't get mysql support unless it is there, even if I uncomment it in my php.ini file. Can I download it from somewhere and just plonk it in the extensions dir, or does it not work like that? One thing i should mention, when i look at phpinfo(), under the "dbx" section it metions mysql supported or something, does that just mean the support for it is there but it is not nessecarily being used?
