  to further suggest it's a PHP mismatch, the current status of the
old php4-mysql package is "rc", meaning it's been deleted and only its
config files are left.  so that would certainly explain why, if any
component of horde is still trying to use php4 for mysql, it's going
to fail badly.  with what little i know, that would certainly suggest
why test.php claims that there's no PHP MySQL support.  so i just need
to know what horde config file to change to resolve that.  thanks
muchly.
