php with mysqlnd support

You can now get the latest PHP with mysqlnd (MySQL Native Driver) support via remis' yum repository as mentioned in PHP-5.3,-zts-and-mysqlnd. The blog mentions that this is enabld in php-zts. However, no php-pecl extension are available and neither are some of the extensions thread safe. So I went about rebuilding php package from source for mysqlnd support.

  1. Download the source php rpm from http://rpms.famillecollet.com/SRPMS/ . Note, I have used php-5.3.2 which is the latest as of this writing.
  2. Install and apply the below diff patch to the spec file via `patch -p0 < {new_patch_file}` where "new_patch_file" has the below contents:

  3. Package with:
    rpmbuild -bb --with mysqlnd --define "rhel 5" SPECS/php-5.3.2-remi.spec
    
  4. To install via yum, change to the directory where rpms are located and recreate the repodata via:
    createrepo .
  5. Note: you may need to install some of the missing dependent devel packages. I used a combination of base, epel and remi repository to install the dependencies.

Hi,

thanks for this post - I just used it to build a php 5.3.3 RPM with Mysqlnd from remi's SRPM. I had to apply the changes by hand, but this was nonetheless a useful post for me.
