RE: [PHP-DEV] Wierd CVS Build problem with libmysql

If you can provide a patch I can look at it'd be great. If it's clean and can't introduce problems for existing scripts, we can accept it for 4.0.4... Zeev At 01:05 17/11/2000, Michael Widenius wrote:

For example: mysql_pconnect("host","db","","/tmp/my.cnf","php"); Would read the [php] and [client] group sections from the /tmp/my.cnf file. What do you think about the above?

IMHO, this looks useful. Late last week I thought Zeev was asking for last minute do or die stuff, with a view to putting out 4.0.4. Is this going to affect that, time wise? Maybe it should wait until after 4.0.4?

The mysql client code already contains everything needed for the patch and this has been tested with the mysql clients and perl a long time now. The only 'big' change is to add 2 more arguments to p_connect(). It should be very easy to make this completely safe in all cases when one only uses the normal 2 arguments to p_connect(); In other words, this should not break old code..
