I'm sorry, you probably think I'm being dense... but I (honestly) don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that one (or other, or both) must *also* be installed for php to have any clue that MySQL exists? A colleague has an identical setup and - AFAIK - didn't install either one on this or prior installations of FreeBSD/MySQL/php. If this is a dense and utterly silly question then please excuse the braindead nature of it. Today has been a long and frustrating day. Thanks for the ongoing help and advice -Colin
