&reftitle.install; Use --with-pdo-mysql[=DIR] to install the PDO MySQL extension, where the optional [=DIR] is the MySQL base install directory. If mysqlnd is passed as [=DIR], then the MySQL native driver will be used. Optionally, the --with-mysql-sock[=DIR] sets to location to the MySQL unix socket pointer for all MySQL extensions, including PDO_MYSQL. If unspecified, the default locations are searched. Optionally, the --with-zlib-dir[=DIR] is used to set the path to the libz install prefix. SSL support is enabled using the appropriate PDO_MySQL constants, which is equivalent to calling the MySQL C API function mysql_ssl_set(). Also, SSL cannot be enabled with PDO::setAttribute because the connection already exists. See also the MySQL documentation about connecting to MySQL with SSL. &Version; &Description; 5.4.0 MySQL client libraries 4.1 and below are no longer supported. 5.3.9 Added SSL support with mysqlnd and OpenSSL. 5.3.7 Added SSL support with libmysqlclient and OpenSSL.
