If you can't find the RPM, just compile it yourself. Get the latest stable, read the doc, configure it as you need (eg --with-mysql) and compile it. You can check the configure option of your current PHP RPM that you said you have just by doing this on the scipt: <?php phpinfo(); ?> If the Configure option does not have --with-mysql in it, than it won't have the mysql functions. Redhat cannot always provide the latest RPM for every software included in its distro. RDB -- Reuben D.
