Ok, I'm going to make a guess here. You're using Apache web server with
php4 to store and retrieve info from a mysql DB, right?
If this is correct then this is not a mysql problem but an apache/php
problem. Go to the php site and have a read of the user commented on-line
manual. In the installation section, I've submitted an explanation on how to
set the php init flags.
