Hi I have been having ALOT of problems with MySQL and I finally decided to unistall the lot and start from fresh, I deleted all MySQL files I could find and now apon the command 'whereis mysql' I get the normal 'mysql:' so I assume its all gone (yes I did remember to remove the tables in /home/mysql/) but before I start installing it again, I wanted to check whether PHP still thought it was there check this out http://www.razor-tech.net/phpinfo.php as you can see from that, PHP thinks MySQL is still installed ? how can I tell PHP that MySQL has gone ?
php doesn't know if mysql is installed. you're seeing the mysql support that php has been compiled with.
if you really want php not to "see" mysql then recompile php without mysql support.
