Maybe it's an obvious question, but I want to be sure.

How can i know if it MySQLnd is the active driver?

I'm runing PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1.37. In phpinfo() mysqlnd is listed but only with this I can't be sure if I'm using MySQLnd or the old driver...

Extract of phpinfo() output

mysql

PDO drivers     mysql

pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL    enabled
Client API version  mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 1.3.2.27 $

I'm using PDO, and PDO driver says mysql...

phpinfo() in the beginning lists the "Configure Command" used to compile PHP.

As they state in other answers mysqlnd is 1 (the default) of 2 choices during the php install/compile process.

My phpinfo Configure Command for 7.0.33 is:

'./configure' '--prefix=/opt/php70' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-intl' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-pdo' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sqlite-utf8' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-zip' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-freetype-dir' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-gmp' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-mssql' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-openssl' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr' '--with-pgsql=/usr' '--with-pdo-sqlite' '--with-png-dir' '--with-pspell' '--with-sqlite' '--with-system-tzdata' '--with-tidy' '--with-unixODBC' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xsl' '--with-zlib'

Note --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '

and --enable-mysqlnd' ' (Not in this one but a readout on a 5.6 php build)

--with-mysqli= is pointing to a directory meaning it is using libmysqlclient If it was mysqlnd instead then it is using the native driver.

(I know this is way old however this knowledge would have saved me hours of tech support debate and I seen this first.)
