Compiling PHP with --enable-embedded-mysqli and -with-mysqli

Question

Is there a difference between the two? I compiled my PHP 5.5.8 with the following:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-pdo-mysql --with-gd --enable-embedded-mysqli --enable-zip --enable-mysqlnd --enable-cgi ...

and later, in installed PHP; I was getting:

function call undefined mysqli_connect

Considering PHP docs ; I noticed that actually the team

--with-mysqli

But I was presented with the option --enable-embedded-mysqliat the completion of the bash tab, and thus never thought about looking further. What does the team --enable-embedded-mysqlido?

Answer 1

- enable-embedded-mysqli seems to activate MySQL Embedded support , but is not very well documented.
