compiling php4 for mysql and apache

[John Hawley <jhawley@bgea.org>]

Hey,

I'm trying to get Apache // php4 // MySQL working on a Debian/Woody box, but
get the following msg from the php-powered page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() ...

The fix is suppose to be to recompile PHP as such:  $ ./configure --with-mysql
--with-apxs ..., but I get:
apxs:  command not found

I've done a search of my system and the 'apxs' script is not there.  Doing some
more searches on Deja, someone said that 'apxs' is part of the 'apache-devel'
package; there's an RPM but Debian apparently doesn't have one.

Any help?  It sort of suprises me that with the popularity of MySQL, that PHP
package doesn't come with support for it included.  I downloaded apache-1.3.12
and ran ./configure, but that didn't install apxs either.

TIA.
