Hi folks,
[post newbie abilities] - I'm attempting to move away from PHP mysql functions
to something newer, either mysqli or PDO.
I have read various things about them, but I'm curious at this point which
would be best to learn for the present and future. I'm usually working on small
to medium size projects.
I understand that PDO has an extra abstraction layer so it can work with /
convert to other databases like oracle and others fairly easily, but some have
said that PDO can be a bit slower the MySQLi?
So I would really like to hear opinions on the best choices of either MySQLi or
PDO.
Also I'm also trying to learn OOP, so I'm looking for a very good working PDO
and/or mysqli database class - to get started with, that has all the basic
needs like UPDATE - INSERT - DELETE - QUERY etc. That would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Hi,
Probably some people will say PDO, others will say MySQLi, in general it
doesn't really matter, and I think you have named the biggest differences
in your mail.
So if you're going to stick with MySQL anyway, you can take advantage of
the speed with MySQLi.
What class are you looking for?
MySQLi can be used as a class, and PDO is a class too?

Hi Negin, tnx for advice,
now however I have successfully downloaded and installed ODBC and
the things needed to connect PHP-ODBC (yum on the same actually)
however, the llinked library file that the odbcinit.ini file points to in
order to
link the libmimodbc.so library is not found, though the file is obviously at
that location
(apache error_log contains a complaint file not found )
so Im still not through completely
/g

but isnt there some yum command that will fix things for me (download if
necessary, but I actually think
the ODBC would be in the distribution of fedora ?)

Hi,
Id like to get ODBC connection to SQL from PHP going. Ive done that on
XP,
but now Im switching
to Linux (Fedora).
My impression in that the connecting part is per the DB designers
responsibility. Im using Mimer-SQL,
but cant find any information on how to set up ODBC for that. Any
advice
welcome.
