Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:19 SergeyBiryukov]:

 > [attachment:"51988.alt.diff"] is an alternative patch which checks if
 either `mysqli_connect()` or `mysql_connect()` function exists, and
 returns early

 Imho this is the better solution. Was trying to figure out if
 `extension_loaded( 'mysqli' )` is 100% identical to `function_exists(
 'mysqli_connect' )` (`mysqli_connect()` is an alias of
 `mysqli::__construct()`) but couldn't find any discrepancies. Perhaps
 commit this patch and see if any possibly related errors are reported
 during beta/RC testing.
