Hi...

this is my first post here......

PHP 5 no longer bundles MySQL client libraries,
what does this mean to me?
Can I still use MySQL with PHP?
I try to use MySQL and get "function undefined" errors, what gives?


thanks for any reply......

    

Where did you get your information from?
I cant find anything about it

Edit: If your getting this problem, it may be because your php5 is out of date.
Try updating it...

all bundled means is that it's inbuilt.

what it means is that if you are compiling php by hand, you need to use the --with-mysql on the configure command, that's about the only different, mysql is still fully supported. also there's an extra mysql option which is mysqli - which is advanced mysql (well it supports more features then the standard mysql library).

Activate the php_mysql or php_mysqli extensions once you install PHP. Then install MySQL. Download it from mysql.com. Then everything will be the same as before.

yea, this doesn't remove any functionality per se, but it does mean you will have to go though an additional step.
