php-cli no mysql module for non-root

DBenson

So far I've been unable to find anything that addresses this one...

Basically, if I am logged in as root and issue a "php -m", mysql is in the
list of installed modules. If I log in or su to a normal user and do the
same then mysql is *not* in the list and I cannot use mysql_connect (or any
other mysql function)...

Any ideas on why this is or how to fix it?

Maybe doing a diff between two "php -i"s will reveal why that happens.
For me both root and normal user have the same modules installed.

Can't you

<?php dl('mysql.so') ?>

load the mysql extension at runtime?

dl('mysql.so') wasn't allowed but did provide another clue...**I*think*that
php is running is safe_mode for non-root but I can't figure out why (all
the related options in php.ini are off)...
