After that you may have to compile php against the new MySQL libraries, its been a while since I've done it so if errors or something pop up post 'em and I'll see if I can fix it. I'm almost certain you'll have to recompile php. If this is just a one off thing you're trying to do I'd just uninstall php and compile it from source as well. If you're familiar with building RPM's I'd install the php source, edit the spec file and have it compile against your MySQL install. I'm almost certain there's a more elegant way of doing this but I couldn't find it, if anyone out there knows of a better way, let me know. I might have my MySQL spec and php spec file laying around somewhere. I'll post them if you need me to. (Though you might not be interested in building RPM's from it at all :-) Either way lemme know how it goes, good luck. -Mike
