Installation requirements: specify which PDO type #56

Related to https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/pull/706: update the dependency name here as well.

Come to think of it, why MySQL specifically actually? I'm using SQLite for example, but the requirements checker still verifies that PDO MySQL is installed. Is that because that was the initially supported/tested database, or is some component always in use that depends on PDO MySQL?

Thanks for the heads up. I would rather add a (suitable for your used database) than MySQL.

why MySQL specifically actually?

It's not specific to MySQL. The thing is that the built-in setup just don't work with other database engines other than MySQL.

Aha, that makes sense! How do you like the text I just pushed? I added a link to the PHP docs where people can see an overview of what PDO database drivers exist and figure out which one they need.
