Philip Olson da21403b71 Mention that MySQL 4.1.0+ only works with ext/mysqli. And, only external
libmysql supports charsets other than latin.  This also documents bug #23885

<para id="mysql.configure">
By using the <option role="configure">--with-mysql[=DIR]</option>
configuration option you enable <literal>PHP</literal> to access MySQL
databases. If you use this option without specifying the path to MySQL,
<literal>PHP</literal> will use the bundled MySQL client libraries.
As of PHP 4, <option role="configure">--with-mysql</option> is enabled
by default so to disable MySQL support you must use
<option role="configure">--without-mysql</option>. Users who run other
applications that use MySQL (for example, running PHP 3 and PHP 4 as
concurrent apache modules, or auth-mysql) should always specify the path
to the MySQL <literal>DIR</literal>:
<option role="configure">--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql</option>.
This will force <literal>PHP</literal> to use the client libraries installed
by MySQL, avoiding any conflicts.
</para>
<para>
This MySQL extension will not work with MySQL versions greater than
4.1.0. For that, use <link linkend="ref.mysqli">MySQLi</link>.

<warning>
<para>
Crashes and startup problems of <literal>PHP</literal> may be encountered
when loading this extension in conjunction with the recode extension.
See the <link linkend="ref.recode">recode</link> extension for more
information.
</para>

<note>
<para>
If you need charsets other than <emphasis>latin</emphasis> (default), you
have to install external (not bundled) libmysql with compiled charset
support.
