I have no idea what you mean. We don't force MySQL in any way. If you grab the PHP code and do: ./configure && make there is absolutely no MySQL. You have to explictly do --with-mysql to get MySQL support just like you have to enable other non-default extensions. What the Oracle/MySQL guys are suggesting is simply that when you do specify --with-mysql the default should be mysqlnd. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
