- MySQLnd

what's with PDO MySQLnd, will it be part of 5.3?

It is the case already. All MySql extension uses ext/mysqlnd by default (at least on windows ;).

So I was wrong. It is not yet in. I really wonder why it is not developed in php's repository directly. As it can build against both libmysql and mysqlnd, it can have no impact on the existing code until it is stable. Also, reading the 5.3 todos:

Patch PDO_MYSQL to optionally support mysqlnd library in addition to the MySQL client library,

Please note that we will not use libmysql anymore on Windows from 5.3+. Correct me if I'm wrong but was It the plan since the introduction of MySqlnd to completly drop libmysql so mysql can continue his stuff on the gpl/commercial side without bother with PHP (translation of the "gift to the PHP community" :).

Are those of us who can't build our own windows binaries still going to be forced to have it enabled by default? :( Perhaps that is another reason for getting my customers over to Linux on the servers :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
