Hello php-list, I'm curious to why default mysql support was dropped from PHP 5? The separation seems to have been done for license issues with the mysql library. PHP 4.X uses a libmysql with an abandoned copyright for mysql access. Would the libmysql still work with PHP 5, or is PHP 5 dependent on the Mysql AB mysqlclient library? Are there any LGPL mysql libraries that would work with PHP 5? thanks, -Nick
