MySQLi Support

[Norm 2782]

I'd like to see a php5-mysqli package! I was very pleased to see PHP 5 in Breezy, but I did hope for a mysqli package.

Seconded. Has anyone managed to get MySQLi running with PHP5 on an AMD 64 box yet? I'm having a real nightmare trying to sort this out. :(

.O.

[Jad]

Seconded to! it's a must

[mgor]

Hello,

Just add this ligne to your source.list :

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

And add this lignes to your /etc/apt/preferences (create it if this file don't exist on your system) :

Package: *
Pin: origin packages.dotdeb.org
Pin-Priority: 990

This packages are made by Guillaume PLESSIS how is an official PHP team guy.

I use Dapper and this package and this works very fine.

See http://dotdeb.org/ for more details.

Cool :)
Still... php5-mysqli in Dapper Main would be great :D

I will be building mysqli in main in the upcoming
weeks, so no need to bug MOTU to do it in universe. It couldn't be done
while we were building the plain mysql extension against the older
libmysqlclient, but now that we're transitioning to a new mysqlclient,
we can build both mysql and mysqli with the new library.

it's on the way :)

woot!

Hi
Has there been any progress in packing mysqli in main?

Will it be in Dapper?

We need MySQLi support asap.

I got a nice new Ubuntu server, PHP5 installed, Apache2, MySQL 5 but cannot use stored procedures or new features of MySQL 5 without mysqli support.

So, pretty much useless server at this point unless anyone has any ideas on how to get mysqli working on ubuntu.

I rolled my own package for it*. Dapper only I am afraid, but if there is enough interest I could do a breezy one as well.

It will happily install php-mysqli by hand but you need to edit php.ini by hand to include extension=mysqli.so and then restart apache.
