Anyone following PHP 5? A quick look through the change log sets alarm bells ringing in my head:
* The SQLite (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/) extension is now bundled and enabled by default.
* Removed the bundled MySQL client library.
Does this mean PHP5 will carry it's own database (SQLite) and there will be no way to interact with other databases?
?!

It looks like they are just changing the defaults, I presume the MySQL client will be downloadable as an optional extra...I cannot imagine they would remove support for MySQL - that would be product suicide.

over at the php dev net that was talked about.
there's an issue between zend and mysql.....
the result is that the mysql library is an optional add on, and may end up being something you get from mysql and not from zend.
i'm not sure of the specifics or how accurate that is.i think in 5 beta you have both of them with sqlite on and mysql off
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

The only difference is that you will have to set the --with-mysql option when compiling as it will not be included by default.
I'm very excited about PHP 5. They've re-worked the OOP and classes now have their own scope, w00t!
