SLES 11 SP2. Apache, PHP, and MySQL are installed. Installed phpMyAdmin, but when it starts it says mysqli extension is missing. How do I add that extension? I’ve searched the docs and the KB and still can’t find an answer. Ken ---

I’ve searched the docs and the KB and still can’t find an answer. Ken[/QUOTE] I am having this same issue. I have SLES 11 SP 2 with php53 installed. Everything works fine until I try and add php53-mysql. Then php breaks because of mysqlnd missing. PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib64/php5/extensions/pdo\_mysql.so’ - /usr/lib64/php5/extensions/pdo\_mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysqlnd\_allocator in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Cannot load module ‘mysql’ because required module ‘mysqlnd’ is not loaded in Unknown on line 0 symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/php5/extensions/mysqli.so: undefined symbol: mysqlnd\_get\_client\_info Everything I have read about this error states php has to be built with an environment variable set. PHP\_MYSQLND\_ENABLED=yes Unfortunately, since this is installed through zypper, I don’t think I can reconfigure php to enable mysqlnd. Please help.
