i think it is a configuration problem. the best way to verify this is to make a phpinfo page

PHP Code:


			
<?

phpinfo();

?>

about 3/4 the way down you should see a table with MYSQL at the top. if you don't, then mysql support has not been added with your php install.

i'm not familiar with mandrake, .. i might assume it is an rpm type of os.

i know for redhat and debian, the package name for this is 'php-mysql'

even then, getting all of them to install correctly is tricky.

was mysql installed first? it should be installed before apache and php.

i wish i was more familiar with mandrake
