PHP not recognizing MySQL

All:

I have PHP 4.2.2 and MySQL 3.23.54 running on a RH9 server. I've been
using the MySQL database for other things but have now decided to use PHP.
Currently, I can't get PHP to recognize MySQL. I noticed that there is
no mysql.so file in the /usr/lib/php4 directory.

Please let me know what I need to do in order to get this working.

Thanks!

John

First learn how to use you Linux machine!

Then upgrade to a supported recent version, RH9 is unsupported since a
few years back.

After that install the mysql modules, most propably named:
php-$VERSION-mysql.rpm

No need to, just remember that RH9 is ancient and unsupported.

BTW please don't prepend a character used for quoting in your response.
Your reply is totally unreadable unless the reader compares it with the
original.

Don't tell the RedHat 5.2 server in my garage that, either. It's been up
for 452 consecutive days.

That's the spirit: uptime is everything, screw security :)
