If you want to see how to recomile PHP you might want to look at [a href=\"http://tedi.heriyanto.net/papers/html-php5-suse.html\" target=\"_blank\"]this[/a], however thats for 9.2 Pro If you enable mysqli but no mysql then you will only be able to use mysqli functions and not any mysql functions. If you want to use both mysqli functions and mysql functions you will want to enable both extensions. [/quote] Thanks much!! thanks for the links too. I will give it a try. I am still a bit confused on the terminology of client library. Sorry I am being so dense, "If you would like to install the mysql extension along with the mysqli extension you have to use the same client library to avoid any conflicts."
