Centos 5, Apache, php, mysql

What yum packages do i need to install to get this to work. I have run this before on windows but im moving over to Linux (Centos 5). I have everything running and working......kinda. I can create databases from command line, and can run php scripts from my web pages. But when i use a mysql_connect statement i get nothing. So php cant talk to mysql and i think i may be missing some packages.

try doing something like
Code:
yum list | grep php
my guess is that you need php-mysql. You will see RPMs for a bunch of pear modules too. Depending on your scripts you may need some of them as well.

For PHP to work with mysql, you need to install php-mysql using yum.

Thanks for all the help, i fixed it by accident. Apparently i didnt initialize something because a restart fixed it.......I feel somewhat stupid now.

if you installed php-mysql and didn't restart httpd that would explain it. Any changes to php require a httpd kick
