In PHP 5 the MySQL client library is no longer bundled because:
- • Most systems have the library installed
- • Multiple versions of libraries can cause problems (mod_auth_mysql)
- • Maintainability of the bundled library
- • libmysql changed license to GPL, which means we can not bundle it with PHP anymore.
Solution:
Install the MySQL client libraries and add --with-mysql=[DIR] to
./configure
