I had drupal running. Then I was getting a memory exhausted message when installing modules. I contacted my hosting company and they said php had some configuration problems and they corrected it. But now this page shows up http://bteministries.org/cms/ which states that php is not installed. Tech support states it is and provided me this info page to show me. http://www.bteministries.org/info.php

Anyone know whats going on?

We were unable to use the MySQL database because the MySQL extension for PHP is not installed. Check your PHP.ini to see how you can enable it.

That error message does not state that php is not installed. There seems to be something incorrectly setup, and they need to adjust php.ini.

If you are allowed to use a custom php.ini file, than you can grab a copy from your server (per your phpinfo() page it's located @ /vservers/bteminis/etc/php.ini and make the necessary changes.

Here is exactly what they stated:
"I checked your PHP settings and included the mysql library explicitly and the error is still showing up. I created an info.php page at http://www.bteministries.org/ that shows you how your php environment is set-up and you can see that it does include mysql support. You might want to ask in a forum or ask the developers if there is a specific setting or library that the package requires. If you can get some more information for us we will be happy to assist you. Thank you."

Any clues here what steps I might take on this?
Thank you

Tech support got back to me. They stated "The MySQL extension was not working because your site was setup to use php version 4 but it was trying to load the mysql extension for php version 5. I have updated this so it will load the proper extensions for php 4."

Is there any issues as far as security right now with using php 4 over php 5?

no there are no security issues with php 4 over php 5. If there were your host wouldn't allow you to run php 4. php 4 is still widely used despite php 5 maturing.
