    Obtaining the mysqlnd plugin API

    The mysqlnd plugin API is simply part of
    the MySQL Native Driver PHP extension, ext/mysqlnd.
    Development started on the mysqlnd plugin API in December
    2009. It is developed as part of the PHP source repository, and as
    such is available to the public either via Git, or through source
    snapshot downloads.

    The following table shows PHP versions and the
    corresponding mysqlnd version contained within.

    The bundled mysqlnd version per PHP
    release
    PHP Version MySQL Native Driver version
    5.3.0 5.0.5
    5.3.1 5.0.5
    5.3.2 5.0.7
    5.3.3 5.0.7
    5.3.4 5.0.7

    Plugin developers can determine the
    mysqlnd version through accessing
    MYSQLND_VERSION, which is a string of the format mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev – 091210 – $Revision: 300535, or
    through MYSQLND_VERSION_ID, which is an integer such as
    50007. Developers can calculate the version number as follows:

    MYSQLND_VERSION_ID calculation
    table
    Version (part) Example
    Major*10000 5*10000 = 50000
    Minor*100 0*100 = 0
    Patch 7 = 7
    MYSQLND_VERSION_ID 50007

    During development, developers should refer to the
    mysqlnd version number for compatibility and version
    tests, as several iterations of mysqlnd could occur during
    the lifetime of a PHP development branch with a single PHP version
    number.
