    That's correct, enobrev. Before, even if you didn't have MySQL installed at all, PHP would still build with the ability to connect to a MySQL server somewhere. That client MySQL code was just a part of PHP.

    Now it's not anymore. However, the client code is still part of any MySQL installation. So when you build PHP you just tell it where your MySQL installation is and PHP will use the client code found there.
