PEAR MDB2 and mysqli

[rec9140]

OK... I am looking to try use something that uses mysqli v. mysql PEAR module.

MDB2 is installed, but.... this is where the adventure begins...

According to the list:

MDB2  2.5.0b2  2.4.1

Ok. its says its version 2.5.0b2, but its description say 2.4.1...

mysqli says it needs. . PEAR Package: MDB2 2.5.0b2 or newer

fccdata@fccdata.com [~]# pear search mysqli
Retrieving data...0%
Matched packages, channel pear.php.net:
=======================================
Package            Stable/(Latest) Local
MDB2_Driver_mysqli 1.5.0b2 (beta)        mysqli MDB2 driver
fccdata@fccdata.com [~]# pear install MDB2_Driver_mysqli
pear/MDB2_Driver_mysqli requires PHP extension "mysqli"
No valid packages found
install failed
fccdata@fccdata.com [~]#

Trying to do the mysqli module install from both WHM | Module Installers and in the domain account that needs it:

pear/MDB2_Driver_mysqli requires PHP extension "mysqli"
No valid packages found
install failed
/usr/local/jdk/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin:/opt/bin

Update MDB2... No update to install.

fccdata@fccdata.com [~]# pear upgrade --pretend MDB2
Nothing to upgrade

I did --pretend only to see what it would do, it wont do it, regardless. Local says its 2.4.1, 2.5.0b2 is available.....



short of a pear install --force --no-deps for the mysqli module which I would rather not do, but any one installed the MDB2 mysqli module? ?

I think your preferred is set to "stable". You can install beta packages by running the following command...

pear -d preferred_state=beta install MDB2

To change the default state you can use...

pear config-set preferred_state beta

Give that a try, if it doesn't work let me know.

OK.. I'll advise as soon as I get some more "play time."

I am just missing the clue stick/boat and they nuked the "stable" mysqli driver? ? ?

Seems a little premature if your setup the way I bet many are to only pull stable.
