I just installed a new server which comes with php 5.5. however one of my older projects requires php 5.3.

So I installed php 5.3 with

wget http://www.php.net/get/php-5.3.28.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror
tar -xvjf mirror
cd php-5.3.28
./configure --prefix /usr/local/php.5.3.28
make
make install

However php_mysql and php_pdo_mysql extensions are missing. So I was wondering how to install them into a custom php build on a server running with multiple php versions?

Server is running on ubuntu 14.04

to see all ./configure options available run:

configure --help

to build an MySQL extension first install libmysqlclient-dev package and then add these options to ./configure invocation:

--with-mysql=/usr --with-pdo-mysql=/usr

That should be it.

For shared .so extension do:

--with-mysql=shared,/usr --with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr

For mysqlnd (however I don't remember if 5.3 already had it)

--with-mysql=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd

or

--with-mysql --with-pdo-mysql --enable-mysqlnd
