Question about which mysql extension to use

[medigeek]

General issue

Description:

Feedback on page: /guides/v2.4/install-gde/prereq/php-settings.html

In the guide the command line recommends:

yum -y install php74u-pdo php74u-mysqlnd php74u-opcache php74u-xml php74u-gd php74u-devel php74u-mysql php74u-intl php74u-mbstring php74u-bcmath php74u-json php74u-iconv php74u-soap

Note php74u-mysql and php74u-mysqlnd. Trying to install both mysql and mysqlnd will result in an error, at least in AMI Linux 2 (yum-based Amazon Linux in AWS).

Possible solutions:

The guide should recommend only one, out of which php74u-mysqlnd would be the best option to choose from.

Maybe you should use php74u-mysqli instead php74u-mysql
