I installed apache and php from source and got them working together a month ago. Because I'm learning both of them this term.
Now I need mysql to do more works. And I installed mysql from source just now. However I don't know how to let it work with php.
I looked around and found some topics on setting up LAMP environment. Most of them install mysql first and use command options --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql and --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config when installing php. But in my case, I installed php first.
Is there any way to let php know that I have installed mysql? Or should I reinstall php ?
UPDATE
Finally I recompiled my php source with appending --with-mysql=/opt/mysql, --with-mysqli=/opt/mysql/bin/mysql_config and --with-pdo-mysql three configure options to let my php support the modules of mysql. Steps taken as follows:
1> stop apache and mysql services
2> backup php.ini
3> remove php
4> reconfigure php source./configure --prefix=/opt/php --with-apxs2=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --with-mysqli=/opt/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-pdo-mysql --...and other options
5> make and then make install
6> copy php.ini back and uncomment the corresponding directs on mysql modules
