 PHP is a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language that may be used
 to create dynamic Web pages. It is available for most operating systems
 and Web servers, and can access most common databases, including MySQL.
 PHP may be run as a separate program or compiled as a module for use
 with the Apache Web server.
 
 PHP actually provides two different MySQL API extensions:
 
    * `mysql': Available for PHP versions 4 and 5, this extension is
      intended for use with MySQL versions prior to MySQL 4.1. This
      extension does not support the improved authentication protocol
      used in MySQL 5.0, nor does it support prepared statements or
      multiple statements. If you wish to use this extension with MySQL
      5.0, you will likely want to configure the MySQL server to use the
      `--old-passwords' option (see  old-client). This extension
      is documented on the PHP Web site at `http://php.net/mysql'.
 
    * `mysqli' - Stands for `MySQL, Improved'; this extension is
      available only in PHP 5.  It is intended for use with MySQL 4.1.1
      and later. This extension fully supports the authentication
      protocol used in MySQL 5.0, as well as the Prepared Statements and
      Multiple Statements APIs. In addition, this extension provides an
      advanced, object-oriented programming interface. You can read the
      documentation for the `mysqli' extension at
      `http://php.net/mysqli'. A helpful article can be found at
      `http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-mysqli.php'.
 
 If you're experiencing problems with enabling both the `mysql' and the
 `mysqli' extension when building PHP on Linux yourself, see 
 php-mysql-mysqli.
 
 The PHP distribution and documentation are available from the PHP Web
 site (http://www.php.net/). MySQL provides the `mysql' and `mysqli'
 extensions for the Windows operating system for MySQL versions as of
 5.0.18 on `http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/'.  You can
 find information why you should preferably use the extensions provided
 by MySQL on that page.
