how to make php to work with mysql (php installed with apt-get, (no mysql support)

I've just found this site, and it seems to be really great!
I'm using your "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)" howto, and I've realized running the phpinfo () script that php was compile without mysql support. I need mysql support in php, because most php scripts especially login related use mysql .

apt-get install php4-mysql

That should do the trick!

 

And don't forget to restart Apache!

 

Thanks, I've already installed that package, and probably mysql was working in php, I've been confused because phpinfo() said that there was a compilation without mysql
