"Undefined Variable" notices has nothing to do with mysql? Do you mean "Undefined mysql_connect"? If you do then what OS (Window, Mac, *nix) is PHP running on. If you're on Windows, PHP does not need recompiling. Instead please read this FAQ.

 

If you're on a Mac/*nix then yes you do need to recompile PHP with the --with-mysql="PATH/TO/MYSQL" command when recompiling.

recompiling is only need when PHP is used on non-Windows based operating system. The PHP package for windows is all pre-compiled - no need to recompile anything on windows. All you have to do is enable the mysql extension within the php.ini. The FAQ I linked to tells you how to enable the mysql extension on windows.

 

if you are not using windows then I can't provide instructions for recompiling, except from what I read form the manual you have to use the --with-mysql="PATH/TO/MYSQL" command when recompiling.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
