I was wondering, the new php5 package just appeared. I installed it along side my php4 install. I was happy about that because I was just about to start a new project and I want to do it in PHP5 with MySqlI. Unfortunately though I can not find php5-mysqli package. I saw a lot of talk about it online, but can not find it in the tree. Is it that it's simply not ready yet, or is it just me??? If it's not ready yet can I compile my own. I do not want to recompile the entire PHP, is it possible to just add that functionality by compiling just that library my self. Any help on how to do that, if that's possible.

Thank you,

BTW if you backup your PHP4 install you can load PHP5 packages and then restore the PHP4 library and switch back and forth, you can not run them both at the same time unfortunately though.
