But with Tomcat all I have to do after I install a new database is put the jdbc driver in the TOMCAT/lib directory. No re-compiling or re-installing of the software. Why is PHP so difficult to add components after the fact?

If you installed source code to compile and tried to install PHP before install MySQL, PHP will not found MySQL libraries and will not work with it. If download PHP source code you will notice there is a file called INSTALL with 3 simple steps that ALLWAYS work. Regards <jl> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
