    By default the MySQL database extensions are configured to use MySQL
    Client Library. In order to use the MySQL Native Driver, PHP needs
    to be built specifying that the MySQL database extensions are
    compiled with MySQL Native Driver support. This is done through
    configuration options prior to building the PHP source code.

    For example, to build the MySQL extension, <literal>mysqli</literal>
    and PDO MYSQL using the MySQL Native Driver, the following command
    would be given:
  </para>

<programlisting role="shell">./configure --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \
[other options]</programlisting>

    In the official PHP distributions from 5.3 onwards, MySQL Native
    Driver is enabled by default, so no additional configuration is
    required to use it. All MySQL database extensions will use MySQL
    Native Driver in this case.
