Comment:

 The MacPorts php82-mysql port installs both the `mysqli` and `pdo_mysql`
 extensions. Which one does your PHP code use?

 As of PHP 8.2.0alpha3, trying to configure the `mysqli` extension to use
 an external MySQL client library produced this error:

 {{{
 configure: error: Linking mysqli against external library is no longer
 supported
 }}}

 I assumed that this also applied to `pdo_mysql` which was why I
 [changeset:768ca6531ca1ba1b37dbfdcd799c9c0f7e9a0dad/macports-ports removed
 the MySQL variants] for php82-mysql and later and forced the port to use
 mysqlnd—the built-in MySQL Native Driver—only.

 However, I now see that for `pdo_mysql` the ability to use an external
 MySQL client library still exists, so I should reinstate the variants for
 that part. That won't help, of course, if your PHP code uses `mysqli`.
