I realise from http://forums.cpanel.net/f334/php-5-...he-141909.html that easyapache won't support mysqlnd native driver but that thread was over 7 months ago and well mysql 5.0.x support has ended officially and mysql 5.1.x is upon us.

It was mentioned being able to do enable mysqlnd native driver support via rawopt custom config flag at CustomConfigureFlags < EasyApache3 < TWiki

how does this work exactly ?

1. I create a file at /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/PHP-5.3.3
2. in this PHP-5.3.3 file i add the following

Code:
--with-mysql=mysqlnd 
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd 
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd
3. then run easyapache but what do i do for mysql/mysqli/pdo options in easy apache ? leave them unchecked and let that custom file i created in step 2 add the options in ?

thanks
