wildteen88 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 they both are extensions. php_mysqli.dll is the MySQL Improved extension with comes with PHP5 and provides more functionally when using PHP with MySQL. It is recommended to the mysqli extension with PHP5 and MySQL5 Read the manual to see difference between mysqli and mysql extensions.

PHPonCrack Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 I understand the difference between the php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll in the php/ext directory. My curiosity is, what is the purpose of the libmysql.dll in the php/ directory?

PHPonCrack Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 I see, just like php_mcrypt.dll & libmcrypt.dll and so on. What about say, php_zip.dll, there is no obvious client dll in the php root that I can see, unless it's using a general client dll under a different name?
