Compiling MySql into php without having mysql installed

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble compiling mysql support in php without having mysql
installed on my server.

../configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql

--with-mysql asked me for the location of mysql. However, my MySql database
resides on another web server. Any suggestions on how to configure PHP with
MySql support without having MySql installed on the current computer?

Thanks
Maz

Not sure, but I guess you'll need a mysql client on your webserver, and
it's asking for that
