From the comments below, it seems #4 is not really working. Is it verified? Fixes #1 and #3 seem to require a custom PHP rather than the ability to keep php up to date with apt-get. This is not desirable.
#2 is not practical either since various frameworks and libraries will have tons of mysql function calls in the code, and I don't want to ignore other legitimate errors.So #4 seems the only option, but when I try "apt-get install mysql-client" it threatens to remove mariadb-server so that's also no good.
Is there really no other way around this nuisance? I realize the problem could be solved if Ubuntu's repos weren't stupid and included mysqlnd already compiled into php. Is there some other repo that offers this perhaps?
