Does anyone know how to configure PHP in XAMPP to use the mysqlnd instead of the libmysql driver? I tried commenting out the mysqlnd lines in the php.ini and commenting the libmysql lines, but MySQL is disabled (checked on Status page). Is there a way to use the driver instead of recompiling PHP?

According to the MySQL documentation, mysqlnd should be enabled by default, so why is libmysql enabled rather than mysqlnd?

I dont think so, but i am unsure (I dont have the latest Xampp here). You easily can proof it by running a phpinfo() and looking for the configure-Options, watch for "--with-mysql=mysqlnd". If there is no such option, you have no chance to run it.

Ok, so no mysqlnd command in the configure command "cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build"". Is it possible for future versions of XAMPP to use mysqlnd?

Don't ask me, I am not member of the Xampp team, I am simply an user like you.
