Hi,
I installed PHP 5 and MySQL separately on my mac. However, it seems the folks behind PHP decided to disable MySQL by default, and no longer bundle the MySQL library with PHP. See
here.
As I have already installed MySQL, it would seem all I need to do is configure PHP with the --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql option. However, I have already installed PHP and would like to avoid having to reinstall it.
Is there any way to modify my existing PHP 5 installation to recognize MySQL, or do I need to reinstall it? If I must reinstall it, is it necessary to delete the current installation first, and how would I go about doing that?
Thanks for your help.
