Thank you very much for the tips. Your help put me on the correct path, and I was able to install the products you suggested, and it seems that my "dummy" database demo is now working. Thank you for the help. I am a "smarter" newbie now!

You need to install the client side of mysql on the linux box (libmysql.*)
then compile php with the mysql modules (I think they exist in RPMs)

Hello Mysql listers,
I have a mysql db running on a Slackware Linux box. I have an Apache webserver running on a Red Hat Enterprise box. (Mysql 4.0.15a, apached 2.0, php 4.3.2). I think (!!?) I have php on the Red hat box, version 4.3.2.
I have been trying without success to use php on apache to connect to the db on slackware box. I do not have MySQL installed on the Redhat box (but do have the mysql client installed). Do I need to install MySQL on the red hat machine to get commands like: mysql_connect, mysql_pconnect to work??? My php does not recognize these commands. Also my php will not connect to the database using a php script like: "mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] phpdemo" where user is the username, passwrd is the password, etc. I can log on locally to the Slackware box, and connect to the db using the user and password, etc. And I can also use ODBC from a windows box to connect.
any ideas on how to set this beginner (me) straight????
Thanks,
eric
