kaseytraeger Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I'm working on a website for an acquaintance. The site is not hosted here, so I'm kind of fumbling as I learn to work my way around the other host's control panel. Anyway, I need to determine if the web space has support for the PHP module DBD::mysql. I've run the phpinfo() script from the public_html directory, so I know that PHP is activated for this account (it's a free-hosting "preview" account, so I wasn't sure if it would even have PHP). Can I tell, based on the output from phpinfo(), whether the DBD::mysql module is installed? Thanks! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Use env.pl and look under Perl libraries installed Quote
kaseytraeger Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 Poifect!!!! Thank you very much. You see people?!? Even when you're working on a site not hosted by TCH, they will still help you out! This place is fantastic. No way I'd ever switch hosts! Not in a gozillion years! Rock Sign Quote
borfast Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Kasey, as Dick pointed, you're looking for a Perl library, not PHP. Quote
kaseytraeger Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 Ooops, you're right! I got them swapped. I had to look for a PHP module as well, and when I saw DBD::mysql, I immediately thought of "MySQL" and "Database" which naturally drew me to PHP. What a dumb mistake! Thanks for pointing it out. I feel like I've got egg on my face now! Quote
LisaJill Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 As a minor cheat you could have run mt-check.cgi too (only need to upload that one file) to see... Quote
