How do you know if MySQL is supported by PHP under Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Answer 1

Make a PHP file with this in it:

phpinfo();

?>

then look for the Mysql part (after running it obviously), if you cant find it, its not installed.

you will probably see something like this:

{| ! MySQL Support ! enabled | Active Persistent Links 0 Active Links 0 Client API version 3.23.49

! Directive ! Local Value ! Master Value | mysql.allow_persistent On On mysql.connect_timeout -1 -1 mysql.default_host no value no valuemysql.default_password no value no valuemysql.default_port no value no valuemysql.default_socket no value no valuemysql.default_user no value no value mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited mysql.trace_mode Off Off
