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?
