phpMyAdmin and MySQL stored procedures

I would like to use stored procedures for MySQL in phpMyAdmin.

This requires that phpMyAdmin be configured to use the improved MySQL extension "mysqli" rather than the so-called classic MySQL extension, "mysql."

It appears that I can't make this change to "config.inc.php" (which I am generally pretty glad about--I do appreciate the excellent separation and re-packagin of applications that DreamHost provides), thus requiring me to contact you.

Here is documentation for the improved MySQL extension:

php.net :: MySQL Improved Extension

Here is documentation for the necessary configuration change for phpMyAdmin to use the improved MySQL extension:

phpMyAdmin.net :: Configuration

I hope my particular request can be addressed--and maybe, in the future, be incorporated into the "Manage MySQL" section of the control panel.

Thanks!

That said other people here may have suggestions for you (I'm really not that familiar with mysql, sorry), but I thought you might want to know.

I just created a support ticket.

I'll post anything about any work done on the issue here.

Thanks.

Have you tried the wiki on Custom PHP.ini ?

Hope it may helps.

Thanks for the reference.

However, I am hoping only to have phpMyAdmin use mysqli, the MySQL improved extension, when interacting with MySQL.

I don't currently need to run PHP as a CGI with a custom configuration.

Thanks again, though.
