[OpenIndiana-discuss] php MySQL extension issue

[Christopher D. Bartels]

I think it has more to do with php's ability to interact with MySQL tbh. 
The mariadb has been working w/o issue, but the php packages are void of 
a ton of extensions mentioned in the DigitalOcean docs as being needed 
by Wordpress- this MySQL connector being one of them.

I'm thinking I might just uninstall the handful of php packages & try 
compiling everything from source to be sure I can have all the right 
parts. I think the hard part might be where to put it all in the fs.
