Totally frustrated trying to configure php and mysql on red hat 7.0

Both mysql and php work but they don't talk to each other. when I use
phpinfo in a script, the configure command shows '--without-mysql'.

Obviously, if this is the actual configure command used for the binary, php
and mysql will not communicate in a red hat installation even if both php
and mysql are selected, because of the php binary used.

I have recompiled both php and apache following (as closely a possible) the
instructions from www.php.net.

It still doesn't work.

How can I install and configure php and mysql so they will communicate and I
can use server side scripting with php and communicate with a mysql database
on Red Hat 7?

Any help would be much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for days.

Before you did the recompile, did you "rpm --erase' both the mysql and PHP
stuff. This just makes sure that there are no residual files lying around
which could be effecting your compile.

See ya
