Thanks for the prompt reply.

phpinfo has no references to mysql

Not sure what you mean by :

...so you will need to install the php extension of mysql via yum or yast
or apt-get depending on which distro you are using. .

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, Dapper Drake. When I use the graphic interface
for the package manager, it shows that php-mysql and php-mysqli are
installed. should I be looking for something else?

TIA

Ken
