Re: [PHP4BETA] MySQL not fully supported?

>> * How to force PHP4 to compile with the MySQL files installed on our server (rather than >> its own)? > > Why do you want to do that? Because, than one can be sure that all Apache modules use the same library and headers files!? I had the following problem: * configured mod_auth_mysql with MySQL 3.22.32 * configured php4 with the bundled MySQL 3.23.10 library (didn't have a chance to change this... and didn't know the version at the time...) Now every time I accessed a page which was protected via mod_auth_mysql, apache crashed... After debugging apache I found the reason: mod_auth was configured with MySQL 3.22.32 header files but was linked against the bundled MySQL 3.23.10 library. Unfortunately, the size of the MYSQL-struct changed between this two versions.... The mysql_connect call uses bzero to reset the MYSQL structure and overwrote (due to the size change) some internal variables of apache which later on caused the crash. After installing a recent MySQL 3.23 version (just for mod_auth_mysql) and configuring mod_auth_mysql against this version, everything works fine again..... Is there a specific reason, why I have to use the bundled library and can't use an already installed version?
