I've still got some ASP sites, and have been using mssql in much the same way but those sites will remain with PHP5.2 and the replacements will be on the modern framework.

I think third part libraries like ADOdb probably need a similar treatment. My use of mssql is via that and other legacy drivers are similarly wrapped, but tagging alternative paths there can only help, and is something I can document. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
