This essentially means that PHP doesn't include <literal>--with-mysql</literal> in the <link linkend="configuration">configure</link> line so that you must now manually do this when compiling PHP. Windows users will edit &php.ini; and enable the <filename>php_mysql.dll</filename> DLL as in PHP 4 no such DLL existed, it was simply built into your Windows PHP binaries. </para> <para> Also, the MySQL client libraries are no longer bundled with PHP. More details on this topic are covered in <link linkend="faq.databases.mysql.php5">the following FAQ</link> and be sure to read the <link linkend="ref.mysql">MySQL section</link> for details on installing MySQL.

The <link linkend="ini.zend.ze1-compatibility-mode"> zend.ze1_compatibility_mode</link> directive enables compatability with the Zend Engine 1.0 (PHP 4). </para> <para> The new OOP model is documented in the <link linkend="language.oop5"> OOP language reference</link> and <link linkend="migration5.oop">OOP migration appendix</link> sections. </para> </answer> </qandaentry> <qandaentry id="faq.migration5.changes"> <question> <para> So besides the new OOP model, what else has changed in PHP 5?
