When I set up the ./configure for php I get an error. Anyone with explaination & hints thank you. I have posted in Beginner section as well. But have it listed complete here. oh, i use SuSE Linux if distro matters.
first I enter this.
#>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-track-vars --enable-magic-quotes --enable-debugger
then this appears.

then I get sad face and contact community to help.
no worries I figured it out, but ka-now, a ka-new problem.
doah! I figured it out.
pilot error.
I was missing flex AND Bison! Even though when I checked packages installed it says ok...it was not.
now I have new problem.
I have been doing PHP/MySQL tutorial (Thanks Kevin!) but I try to write to mySQL db and it will not, I can display. I try to show form and it will not. code similar to http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/24.html
<?php
if ( isset($myVariable_here)):...
?>
<form>yes form elements
</form>
<?php
else
...some info here...
echo("<P><a href=$PHP_SELF?myVariable=1>showform</a></p>");
when I insert different <body> tags into the <?php if, and <?php else code, I never get the else bgcolor, but I get the info from db displayed.
