如何在Mac OSX上安装php 5.6 mysql扩展

Question

I am trying to setup PHP 5.6 and one of the older sites that I work with needs the mysql extension which didn't install when I ran:

brew install php56 --with-fpm --with-mysql --with-httpd

It installed php56 and that's all working fine however it installed the mysqli extension but I need the mysql extension too.

Is there a way to install this extension to my current php setup?

Here is the currently installed php extensions that I have:

5.6 php -m

Try the following:

brew reinstall php56 --with-fpm --with-libmysql --with-httpd

Per the homebrew installer options, this installs the old mysql driver instead of the newer native driver. I don't think there is any way to install both simultaneously as the drivers conflict.

If this is a new project you are working on, it may be worth the time to refactor your project to use the native driver.
