configuring php and mysql

[awolff01]

This is more of a configuration question than programming.

PHP was pre-installed on my system with support for mysql. But I installed a new version of mysql (into a different directory, etc). What do I need to do to get php to work with the new version of mysql rather then the old?

Please dont tell me this is a compile time option?

I am hoping I can screw around with the php.ini file to tell it where to look for mysql but I did not see anything that looked like that.

When looking at the "php -i" data looks like there are 3 critical lines referring to mysql the location of the mysql.sock and reference to some libraries.

Any suggestions?


Thanks.

The trouble with upgrading MySQL is that newer versions of MySQL use a different communications library than the older versions. This is why MySQL libraries are not longer bundled with PHP.

From what version to what version did you upgrade MySQL?
