Here's a short explanation of
the configuration directives.
 
   
    - 
     mysqlnd_ms.enableinteger
- 
     
      Enables or disables the plugin. If disabled, the extension will not plug
      into
      mysqlnd to proxy internal
      mysqlnd C API calls.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.force_config_usageinteger
- 
     
      If enabled, the plugin checks if the host (server) parameters value of any
      MySQL connection attempt, matches a section name from the plugin configuration
      file. If not, the connection attempt is blocked.
      
      This setting is not only useful to restrict PHP to certain servers but also
      to debug configuration file problems. The configuration file validity is checked
      at two different stages. The first check is performed when PHP begins to
      handle a web request. At this point the plugin reads and decodes the configuration
      file. Errors thrown at this early stage in an extensions life cycle may not be
      shown properly to the user. Thus, the plugin buffers the errors, if any, and
      additionally displays them when establishing a connection to MySQL.
      By default a buffered startup error will emit an error of type
      E_WARNING.  If force_config_usage is set,
      the error type used is E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR.
      
      Please, see also configuration
      file debugging notes.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.ini_filestring
- 
     
      Plugin specific configuration file. This setting has been
      renamed to mysqlnd_ms.config_file in version 1.4.0.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.config_filestring
- 
     
      Plugin specific configuration file. This setting superseeds
      mysqlnd_ms.ini_file since 1.4.0.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.collect_statisticsinteger
- 
     
      Enables or disables the collection of statistics. The collection of
      statistics is disabled by default for performance reasons.
      Statistics are returned by the function
      mysqlnd_ms_get_stats.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.multi_masterinteger
- 
     
      Enables or disables support of MySQL multi master replication setups.
      Please, see also supported clusters.
      
- 
     mysqlnd_ms.disable_rw_splitinteger
- 
     
      Enables or disables built-in read write splitting.
      
      Controls whether load balancing and lazy connection functionality can
      be used independently of read write splitting. If read write splitting
      is disabled, only servers from the master list will be used for
      statement execution. All configured slave servers will be ignored.
      
      The SQL hint MYSQLND_MS_USE_SLAVE will not be recognized.
      If found, the statement will be redirected to a master.
      
      Disabling read write splitting impacts the return value of
      mysqlnd_ms_query_is_select.
      The function will no longer propose query execution on slave servers.
      Note: 
      Multiple master servers
 
 
       Setting mysqlnd_ms.multi_master=1 allows the plugin
       to use multiple master servers, instead of only the first master server
       of the master list.
