Hi Stephanie,

> It seems Brian's php5 had both mySQL and mysqli - so I think it's possible.

Yeah, according to http://de.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php it is 
possible. 

I just got as far as getting both the native mysql support and pdo_mysql up 
and running on BlueOnyx with PHP-5.2.8. But tring to get all three (MySQL 
Client Library, mysqli and PDO MYSQL) compiled in usually leads to something 
blowing up either during configure, compile or when trying to load the module.

The PHP bugtracker is full with reports from people with similar experience, 
so it ain't that easy, although rumor has it it's doable <shrug>.

Yeah, and it's a first grade dependency hell. I have it on my list, though.
