I also had a problem getting PHP to work with MySQL. Eventually I discoved
that it works if you do it this way:
1. Install MySQL via the package mechanism (I'm sure the ports will also
work but I didn't have a burning desire wait for it to compile).
2. Download the sources for PHP and Apache.
3. Follow the QUICK INSTALL instructions from the file INSTALL that comes
with PHP. I've included them below.
This worked so well I'm planning on doing it this way when I install
Apache/PHP on my Solaris machine tonite.
--> QUICK INSTALL
-->
--> gunzip apache_1.3.x.tar.gz
--> tar xvf apache_1.3.x.tar
--> gunzip php-3.0.x.tar.gz
--> tar xvf php-3.0.x.tar
--> cd apache_1.3.x
--> ./configure --prefix=/www
--> cd ../php-3.0.x
-->
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars
--> make
--> make install
--> cd ../apache_1.3.x
--> ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
--> (The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp3.a does not exist at
this
--> stage. It isn't supposed to. It will be created.)
--> make
--> (you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache
bin dir)
--> cd ../php-3.0.x
--> cp php3.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php3.ini
--> You can edit /usr/local/lib/php3.ini file to set PHP options.
--> Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
--> AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
