PHP Not Recognizing MySQL

I am running PHP5 under Linux. Just a newbie and would like to have it
integrated with MySQL. When I execute
phpinfo() in a webpage, I see tons of info on php, but nothing on
MySQL. Perhaps this is because I installed
MySQL after I installed PHP. Is there a way to get PHP to recognize
MySQL?

Thanks, Steve

Sorry, don't know, I always compile it from source and I haven't used Debian.

Maybe: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=debian+php+mysql+php5

As it's also possible to add PHP extensions as shared modules then presumably
your system's package manager will be able to add these separately without
having to recompile PHP.

PHP5 has mySQL disabled by default.
Have you set the php.ini file to use the mysql extension?
I use Windows so the following my not be exactly correct for Unix
Open php.ini in text editor
Locate the ; Dynamic Extensions ; text within the file
Scroll down until you find ;extension=php_mysql.so
Remove the semi-colon from the line
Save file
Stop and restart web server.
use phpinfo() to see if access is now available.

re: PHP Not Recognizing MySQL

"apt-cache search php5-mysql"
Will search the package database for the mysql module for php5. If it shows
you should be able to:
"apt-get install php5-mysql"

I don't use php5, but this works for php4-mysql.

Regards.
