Description:
------------
When compiling PHP as an Apache module, libmysqlclient.so will 
be used no matter whether it's a threading (worker) Apache or 
a standard (prefork) environment. Hoewever, in a threading 
environment, libmysqlclient_r.so would be the correct choice. 
Since all the threading checks in the configure script are 
done *after* picking the MySQL library to use, I don't see any 
easy way to fix this.
The best thing to do would be to check for the environment 
first and then use "mysql_config --libs_r" instead of 
"mysql_config --libs".

Reproduce code:
---------------
Just try to make PHP use the thread-safe libraries provided by MySQL. You'll fail. The only solution I've found is to call "configure" the way I want to and afterwards run "sed -e 's/mysqlclient/mysqlclient_r/g' Makefile > Makefile.ts; cp Makefile.ts Makefile".

Actual result:
--------------
As it happens, the CLI will work fine whereas the libphp4.so 
will report a "Cannot connect to MySQL ..." as stated here: 
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=8472 (And this is way old, if 
I may say so).

That should read libphp5.so. Sorry for the typo.

Yup, fixes the problem for me (Tested on Solaris 10/SPARC).
Thanks!

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Just wanted to add that although the bug was fixed in 5.2-CVS, 
the fix seems to not have made it into 5.1.5
