#44502 [Opn->Sus]: Compiling ok with MySQL 5.0

ID: 44502 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: nickg78 at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 6CVS-2008-03-22 (snap) New Comment: I don't think we should make the code complexer (even if it's just a little) for supporting MySQL libraries odler than 5.0 with PHP 6. There are three reasons for that: - The active support lifecycle from MySQL/Sun ended 2006-12-31, the extended will end 2009-12-31 (http://mysql.com/about/legal/lifecycle/) - You can use --with-mysql=mysqlnd and --with-mysqli=mysqlnd to use MySQLnd library which is not dependant from an external library, and I hope it will be default with PHP 6 - It will take quite some time until PHP 6 will be released.

Please ignore this bug report if PHP 6.0 is officially announced to be incompatible with MySQL 4.1 but I have not found anything mentioning this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-22 03:34:06] nickg78 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ While trying to compile PHP 6 with mysql or mysqli, compile fails with error /ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:2086: error: 'MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR' undeclared (first use in this function) Reproduce code: --------------- These are the configure options for MySQL that were working with no problems while compiling PHP 5.0-5.2: ./configure --with-mysqli --with-mysql=/usr Expected result: ---------------- Successful PHP compile Actual result: -------------- ext/mysql/php_mysql.c: In function 'php_mysql_fetch_hash': ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:2086: error: 'MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR' undeclared (first use in this function) ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:2086: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:2086: error: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [ext/mysql/php_mysql.lo] Error 1 MySQL version is 4.1.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44502&edit=1
