difference between --without-mysql and extension=mysql.so
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When i run php4 -i
the output tells me that it is compiled with the configure parameter
--without-mysql

But i can activate mysql support via the php.ini setting
extension=mysql.so
and now i can use the mysql_connect() function from
a web. app php through apache.

But when i run a php script in a terminal the mysql_connect() function
is undefined.

root@2[www]# php4 test.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/test.php on line 3

I guess because of the --without-mysql parameter.
Is this the only difference?

That i can not run php scripts from the command line and only as web
app's from apache?
