[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] pdo_mysql driver

[rknowles@xxxxxxxxx (Roger )]

Hello, I hope this is an appropriate post for this newsgroup...

I am using a new installation of Eclipse/PDT on a new Macbook. I have run 
into a problem trying to use PDO to create a connection to a mysql 
database. The driver isn't installed. 

I have read several posts online stating that Apple did not include the 
pdo_mysql drivers on their standard implementation of PHP, for some 
bizarre reason. But, it appears that the version of PHP5 that comes with 
PDT does include pdo_mysql. Is that correct?

So, if that is the case, it seems I have multiple versions of PHP on my 
Macbook and, if I simply point to the correct one from Eclipse, I can get 
around this issue.

Do my assumptions sound correct?

If they are correct, then how can I accomplish this. (this seems like a 
really complicated thing, from what I have been reading in the various 
posts)

Any advice would really be appreciated.
