Comment (by pc@…):

 I've now got things working with mysqlsnd as you suggested. I have php54,
 mysql5.5 and mod_mysql_auth working. Thanks for your speedy and helpful
 response last night.

 I don't think you have much space in Macports for comments about variants
 but:

 I think that the variant perhaps should be labelled - 'Use any Mysql
 server on your system'. 'Native' in the Mac context means 'it's a Mac
 thing' to me.

 Two key bits of ignorance led me to believe that things were not working -
 when they probably were:

 'You may need to specify the socket address of the server in php.ini'.
 I've never had to do this before for a PHP installation probably because
 the dedicated people who make things work have always done it for me. The
 error message from mysqli_connect is less than helpful (Cannot find file
 or some such) and it takes a bit  of time to realise that it cannot find
 the socket.

 and

 'Phpinfo will not tell you the version of your server, and will report a
 possibly a lesser version of mysql provided by the mysqlnd client
 library'. This fooled me into thinking that things were not working - when
 they were.

 Thanks for all that you do BTW.
