Sadly, there are a lot of bogus installation instructions over the internet that suggest to install PDO using: pecl install pdo pecl install pdo_mysql Crazily, those two extensions still build cleanly on PHP 5.2, leading users to unwillingly use a completely outdated code base. Since we couldn't find a way to reliably detect the version of the PDO extension from PHP code, could we change the meta-data of those packages so that they conflict with any version of PHP >= 5.1.0? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=59193&edit=1
