mysqli extension

1-13-05, 01:17 AM

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

Hello from the other side of the state

your beest bet would be to submit your request to qa@powweb.com - this will get to the top dogs here.

Persistant connections will not work due to php being run as a CGI.
But still the other features/bugs may be useful.

As Skunkboy said, email qa@powweb.com

Yah, I guess I'll send the email. I haven't had much luck with that route in past.
