Also I cannot find "libmysql" references in INSTALL (install.txt), in 5.3+. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-06 05:44:05] clockw...@php.net Specifically, it still says: PHP 5+ (snip) Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH. (/snip). The windows builds install.txt also document this, but are out dated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-06 05:42:43] clockw...@php.net This is currently not documented in http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-19 09:03:00] johan...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php libmysql.dll isn't needed anymore with 5.3 as mysqlnd was introduced as client library. "mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication" tells you what the error is, please don't use the --old-passwords MySQL option! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
