[1] <https://github.com/php/doc-en/commit/383a659e1f0f7aa3330b31a095a1e927611d4c71> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-04 15:15:31] ck at bru6 dot de Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/mysqlinfo.library.choosing --- The value for the option --mysql is *not* the complete path of the mysql_config script - entering that gives the error "MySQL header not found". The correct value here is rather the directory containing the "include" path to mysql.h. So if mysql.h is in /usr/local/include, the value of the --mysql option should be "/usr/local". Or, in the words of ./configure --help: --with-mysql=DIR Include MySQL support. DIR is the MySQL base directory, if no DIR is passed or the value is mysqlnd the MySQL native driver will be used However, --with-mysqli wants the path to mysql_config here. That seems a bit inconsistent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72158&edit=1
