Question

What are the default ./configuration option for PHP?

My basic requirement is PDO and mysql.

What options i need to put in ./configuration ?

yum repo of my linux distribution doesn’t support mysql, so i need to compile the PHP source 🙁

Below is the phpinfo() output when i use yum install php.

vim mysql.ini
; Enable mysql extension module
extension=mysql.so

Answer 1

Try running yum install php-mysql and see if that adds the MySQL extension to PHP.

You can run yum search php to list additional modules you can install into PHP such as php-gd, php-pdo etc.
