Installation does not confirm MySQL version correctly

[pinkfrankenstein]

I don't know the correct technical terms, but in the installation script the PHP command:

Code:

mysql_get_client_info()

Only gets the version of mysqlnd which is part of PHP and not MySQL.

Thus the script returns:
MySql - mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 1.3.2.27 $ FAIL

No matter what version of MySQL is installed. This happens with PHP 5.3 on OS X Snow Leopard.

In order to get the MySQL version, would need something like this:

Code:

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pword');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL server version: %s\n", mysql_get_server_info());
?>

Hey pink,

Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome. It was a big headache for me to figure out what was wrong but well worth it.

It seems to be an issue mostly on Macs running PHP 5.3 which is the default.
