 This package provides modules for MySQL database connections directly from
 PHP scripts. It includes the generic "mysql" module which can be used
 to connect to all versions of MySQL, an improved "mysqli" module for
 MySQL version 4.1 or later, and the pdo_mysql module for use with
 the PHP Data Object extension.

 PHP5 is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is
 especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
 The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
 dynamically generated pages quickly. This version of PHP5 was built
 with the Suhosin patch.
