Req #54997 [NEW]: MySQL Client API

From: Operating system: windows PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: MySQL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:MySQL Client API Description: ------------ To upgrade to MySQL 5.1, the client API is recommended to be updated. see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html "Older versions of the client library cannot handle this change in behavior. For applications that use prepared statements with the new server, an upgrade to the new client library is strongly recommended." You are not upgrading client apis in windows binary distibutions properly. php 4 still uses mysql 3 client api. I'm wondering if you could start updating mysql client apis regularly. In php 5.3.6 windows distribution, mysql 5.0.8 is used, hindering windows users to upgrade to mysql 5.1 or 5.5 if they use prepared statements... or if possible, would it be possible to load it dynamically so that upgrade to the client api could be done just by replacing the dll without any recompilation needed? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54997&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54997&r=mysqlcfg
