The mysql extension does not support preparing queries or binding
values, it only supports straight pass through of sql and returning a
result set.
So in short a) it doesnt support php to database best practices, and b)
it is not in active development, only maintenance mode.

bottom.

Hi, I just have a quick question, Why doesn't ZF have a standard mysql
adapter? apart from PDO, mysqli?
Would it be easy to modify an existing adapter to get this
functionality? I'm on a server that's not got mysqli, or PDO mysql driver.
Thanks.
