Trying to install mysqli extension for PHP

[stevek]

the instructions read as follows:
To install the mysqli extension for PHP, use the
--with-mysqli=mysql_config_path/mysql_config configuration option where
mysql_config_path represents the location of the mysql_config program
that comes with MySQL versions greater than 4.1.

I do not have any idea what this means. Can someone help.

TIA

On my server:

andyh@server:~$ which mysql_config
/usr/bin/mysql_config

So, I'd use --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config

In fact, I just used --with-mysqli, since mysql_config is in a "standard"
location that the configure script found automatically.

Thanks Andy, but it looks like your using unix/linux and I did not do
the courteous thing and state I am using NT4.0.
