More boards can be found on Google Directories, try the PHP link for the better boards. - Raccoon Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!

Create a .php file that contains: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Then go to that .php file using your browser. Look in the "Configure Command" section, if it has --with-mysql, then the PHP installed on your system allows access to MySQL, if it doesn't have it then MySQL support is not enabled. That won't actually tell you if YOU have access to MySQL (a login/password) it will just tell you if MySQL support is enabled.
