now that we have php5 and mysql 4.1..... I wonder if we could get the mysqli extension for php.
There are existing misfeatures in ext/mysql, most notably mysql_pconnect()[1] and the automatic and default connections[2]. Additionally, incompatibilities between the feature set supported by ext/mysql and that supported by the MySQL client library, which ext/mysql and ext/mysqli both rely on, have arisen.
In an effort to correct these issues, Georg Richter has created a new MySQL extension for PHP5 that will support new features in MySQL Version 4.1 and higher.
The extension is called ext/mysqli, with the 'i' standing for any one of: improved, interface, ingenious, incompatible or incomplete (http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-mysqli.php)
