That's all there is to it, I'm just not sure how to compile the mysql.so
file! I looked through the PHP source tree, but the makefiles don't
seem to be able to build the shared libs.
Maybe it, along with others, can be downloaded from somewhere.

thanks Mat,
I found this FAQ:
When I try to connect to mysql from php I get this error: "Call to
unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect();"
Updated: 2001-06-01
Either you miss mysql support in the php module or you need to load
mysql dynamicly in your scripts by inserting:
dl("mysql.so"); (on unix)
dl("mysql.dll"); (on windows);
in the top of all the scripts that use mysql.
--- end of FAQ
I am hoping it is that simple.
the dl() does it all..
please say it does..:)
