[Cialug] RE: dep

[David Champion]

Make a page called test.php that contains:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Load it in a browser. Look at the output for "mysql". It should be up 
near the top under "Configure Command", and possibly "Extensions". There 
should also be a "MySQL Support" section farther down the page. If not, 
you still have problems.
