mysql is(should be) disabled by default in the makefiles, so you have to pass --with-mysql* arguments to explicitly enable mysql in your build. if you don't need it, you can just omit the --with-mysql or set it to 'no' I don't know much about OpenSuse, but for debian you have to explicitly install the php5-mysql package, without that, you have no mysql related module in the module list generated by php -m. the windows build however seems interesting, I've just downloaded the php-5.3.8-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip package, and it shows the mysqlnd in the module list, albeit I don't see that explicitly added in the configure line: Configure Command => cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack" "--disable-zts" "--disable-isapi" "--disable-nsapi" "--without-mssql" "--without-pdo-mssql" "--without-pi3web" "--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8-11g=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient11\sdk,shared" "--with-enchant=shared" "--enable-object-out-dir=../obj/" "--enable-com-dotnet" "--with-mcrypt=static" "--disable-static-analyze" maybe Pierre can elaborate why is that. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
