The MySQL client is not part of the PHP core which is what the installer installs. However, if any work is to be done on the installer it might be nice to package it will all non-pecl libs and have a selection dialog during the install to select the modules to install, the installer could then also enable the selected modules in php.ini.

Quite frankly I've given up helping people who are too blind to read the descriptions on the download page, it does quite plainly state that the installer gives them core PHP only.

I'm curious why this exists. It doesn't seem to do anything but harm?
Not a day goes by where I'm not asked why some one can't get mysql to work with php because of this thing...

Just wondering why its there, is all.
