Re: [PHP-DB] No MySQL Support in PHP5 - Uh oh!
(Sorry Greg - Must remember to check return address ;) ) And what about recommending PHP/MySQL as a preferred dev environment? I am currently in the process of several recommendations and wondering if I shouldn't hold off for a while. Maybe its time to bite the bullet and move to PHP/Postgres. Will anything remain free Greg Reeves Personally I have to live with MySQL built into the Windows Binaries, but I have never used MySQL, and do not recommend it because of the commercial implications. Firebird will remain free for whoever wants it, so I will be happy to see a MySQL-less build of PHP, and just install that :) -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] No MySQL Support in PHP5 - Uh oh!
Hello Ben-- The MySQL extension has been debundled because MySQL has changed its licensing policy and, effective 4.0, the library is now distributed either under the GPL (which is incompatible with the PHP license) or by purchasing a commercial license. You can still link to the MySQL library by downloading it separately from PHP, installing it and the configuring PHP to point to it. This will work both with 3.x and 4.x. However, technically you can't link against 4.x unless you have a commercial license from MySQL. MySQL has confirmed they're working on an exception that would allow you to link to the 4.x library, but nothing has been made public yet (at least as far as I know). Here are some reference links (note: these are all from my blog. It's not megalomania [well, not all of it, anyway]--I just happened to have collected some info about this whole thing and it's easier for me to reference my own site than someone else's): http://blogs.phparch.com/mt/archives/14.html http://blogs.phparch.com/mt/archives/19.html http://blogs.phparch.com/mt/archives/23.html These also include some comments directly from MySQL on this whole thing.

Sorry then, the library. The purpose was not to confuse, but, of course, to inform.
