I have a Linux box with RHEL5. My application was working well with MySQL and PHP libraries that came with the OS. The problem started when a newer version of MySQL was installed. Other applications needed the newer MySQL version but did not like the php-mysql package and did not work. So php-mysql package had to be removed. Now my application doesn't work because there is no php-mysql package installed. How can I find which php-mysql package will be compatible with the MySQL package?
Here is the info:
[a1 ~]$ uname -a
Linux a1 2.6.18-238.el5 #1 SMP Sun Dec 19 14:22:44 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[a1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
MySQL-server-5.5.9-1.rhel5.x86_64
MySQL-shared-5.5.9-1.rhel5.x86_64
MySQL-devel-5.5.9-1.rhel5.x86_64
MySQL-shared-compat-5.5.9-1.rhel5.x86_64
MySQL-client-5.5.9-1.rhel5.x86_64
[a1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep -i php
php-cli-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64
php-common-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64
php-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64
php-pdo-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64
Thanks in advance for your help.
