22.9.13. 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.

Configure PHP like this:

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

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
