Re: [PHP-INSTALL] PHP/MYSQL

Do the mysql_*() functions work anyway? I don't have a mysql.so file on
my system, but PHP-MySQL works anyway. I suspect that the mysql
extension may have been changed between PHP 4 and PHP 5 so that it no
longer needs mysql.so (I have the same versions of Apache, PHP, and
MySQL as you do.)
