> good job! can we do PDO_MYSQL next? if that also goes away (seems likely), all libmysqlclient-specific code can be removed i think
Feel free to create an RFC. I was only interested in doing this for mysqli because that's where I saw value in doing it. The support for libmysql was causing problems for mysqli and removing it is definitely an improvement. PDO doesn't have such burning issues and the existing code works almost as well as with mysqlnd. But I would vote in favour of dropping libmysql support for PDO too. Regards, Kamil
