I'm trying to get an old application running under CentOS 7.8 which only supports php 5.3. I already compiled and installed php 5.3 but I'm not able to get the mysql extension working. Here is what I did so far:

  1. installed php 5.3

    wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2 tar -xf php-5.3.29.tar.bz2 cd php-5.3.29 ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --with-mysql=mysqlnd make clean make clean install

  2. link to php-cgi

    cd ~/home/myuser/public_html/myapplication ln ~/bin/php-cgi php53.cgi

  3. setup .htaccess

    Action php53-cgi /php53.cgi AddHandler php53-cgi .php <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler php53-cgi </FilesMatch>

  4. install mysqlnd extension

    cd /php-5.3.29/ext/mysqlnd phpize ./configure --with-libdir=lib64 --prefix=$HOME make clean make clean install

mysqlnd.so extension was successfully installed to extension directory but when I load phpinfo.php it's not listed.

  • Did you edit the php config file to un-comment that line? Commented Jun 7, 2020 at 3:28
  • @RickJames Yes, I already added extension=mysqlnd.so to php.ini unfortunately without success. I also tried to build php with configuration parameters --enable-mysqlnd=shared --with-mysqli=shared. This build the extensions and place them in extension_dir. But still not showing up in phpinfo.php Commented Jun 7, 2020 at 8:35
