We recently installed Mandrake 9 and PHP was automatically installed. When trying to connect to the mysql database php does not recognize any of the mysql functions Ex. mysql_connect Looking at the php.ini file it says extensions are in the usr/lib/php/extensions directory however the directory does not exist. Are the extensions gd.so and mysql.so located somewhere else. Any help would be appreciated.

very odd! I'm using Mdk 9.0, too no problems concerning mySQL and the said directory exists
just to tell you, it's not Mdk's fault ...
Have you tried doing a search for the said files?
Also, have you tried re-compiling PHP with the options that you want?
I did do a whereis on Linux of the files and couldn't find them. If the two extensions are uncommented in php.ini will php have to be recompiled or php will create the directory and put the extensions in it? ANy help would be appreciated.
