Re: [PHP-DB] MySQLnd support for ed25519

Hi Dimi,

I think mysql 8 is the new version of mysql. I don't know if there a 
exists a stable release or only a beta.
My thoughts are that the last php-version maybe can handle the mentioned 
authentication method or you have
to try to compile the handling for the mysql-plugin in the php-mysqldriver.

Maybe the question about enhancing the php is relation on the 
Linuxdistribution.  Here I mean an additional rpm if you use Redhat, 
Fedora, Centos, Suse...
or .deb if you use Debian, Ubuntu or such of these.

To mix a tarball with one of these packages I think it is to difficult 
in this case.

Regards,
Ruprecht
