I was about to say "Ask the RPM makers" until I saw who was asking :-)
How about:
php -q -r '$lines=file("/etc/php.ini"); $f=fopen("/etc/php.ini", "w"); \
foreach ($lines as $line) { fwrite($f, preg_replace("/^;extension=mysql.so/",\
"extension=mysql.so", $line)); } fclose($f);'
or php-cli -r '..' (as above)
?
It'd probably be better to read from the php.ini-dist file or the source in
the package and write to php.ini, but the above will work* if it isn't
interrupted (which would probably cause other issues with the rpm, so isn't
a biggie).
* I typed this out without testing it, so it might not work :)
I presume perl is no longer a "standard" package installed with either
redhat or mandrake thus the question ?
Paul.
