+ In PHP 4, the option <option role="configure">--with-mysql</option> is
+ enabled by default. To disable this default behavior, you may use the
+ <option role="configure">--without-mysql</option> configure option.
+ Also in PHP 4, if you enable MySQL without specifying the path to the
+ MySQL source DIR, <literal>PHP</literal> will use the bundled MySQL client
+ libraries. In Windows, there is no DLL, it's simply built into PHP 4.
+ Users who run other applications that use MySQL (for example,
+ auth-mysql) should not use the bundled library, but rather specify the
+ path to MySQL's source directory, like so:
+ <option role="configure">--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql</option>.
+ This will force <literal>PHP</literal> to use the client libraries
+ installed by MySQL, thus avoiding any conflicts.

This MySQL extension will not work with MySQL versions greater than
