ID: 49280 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: ar at ez dot no Summary: ext/mysqlnd: Not possible to detect mysqlnd in php Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: MySQLi related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.0 Assigned To: mysql Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That's not pollution. We already had mysqlnd specific bugs or cases where we would have liked to detect at runtime which backend is used. That's a rather common need. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-06 15:52:10] [email protected] Not needed, pollution. mysqli has client info, mysql has mysql_get_client_info(). With the mysql[i] extensions the info which library is used can be retrieved with a simple stristr() call using the API that is there to tell you the client [library] version [string]: *_client_info(). Even stinky PDO has a version string, although documented as int: PDO::ATTR_CLIENT_VERSION. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-06 15:21:37] [email protected] It could still be useful and won't hurt to have it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-06 14:42:49] [email protected] Original issue was "bogus" (persistent connections). Too few relevant differences between mysqlnd and libmysql otherwise and none that you can't easily detect by e.g. using mysqli->client_info. No need for an extra constant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 17:28:58] ar at ez dot no > And you really should be checking if mysql*.allow_persistent is on or off anyway We don't need hide php warnings, so if php trows a understandable warning in such a case, then that would be sufficient. So, for my use case this is not valid anymore then, Thanks;) But as long as mysqlnd behaves differently then the old mysql client, I would vote for such a constant anyway. Or you can close with reference to the first comment(2:21) on how to detect mysqlnd if you absolutely need to know about it in code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 17:18:45] [email protected] "p:" is allowed always since PHP 5.3.0. You only get a warning when someone has disabled persistent connections with mysqli.allow_persistent ini option. You don't need to know whether it's mysqlnd or libmysql that is used. And you really should be checking if mysql*.allow_persistent is on or off anyway. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
