22.10.7. Enabling Both mysql and mysqli in PHP

If you're experiencing problems with enabling both the mysql and the mysqli extension when building PHP on Linux yourself, you should try the following procedure.

  1. Configure PHP like this:

    ./configure --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql=/usr
    

  2. Edit the Makefile and search for a line that starts with EXTRA_LIBS. It might look like this (all on one line):

    EXTRA_LIBS = -lcrypt -lcrypt -lmysqlclient -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl
    -lxml2 -lz -lm -lxml2 -lz -lm -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm
    -lxml2 -lz -lm -lcrypt -lxml2 -lz -lm -lcrypt
    

    Remove all duplicates, so that the line looks like this (all on one line):

    EXTRA_LIBS = -lcrypt -lcrypt -lmysqlclient -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl
    -lxml2
    

  3. Build and install PHP:

    make
    make install
