[PHP] The end of "mysql"
So with the announced end of the mysql functions (and switching to a different extension), one would think that my isp/hoster would be a bit more interested in my dilemma. I tried today to create my first mysqli-based test script and found that I didn't have that extension. A series of emails with my tech support told me that the shared server farm does not get "mysqli" - only their business servers. Since I dont' have a need for and want to pay more for a 'business server', I'm told I'm s... outta luck. Any idea on the approximate date when mysql truly goes away - ie, when is the proposed (next) update that will completely refuse to recognize it? Might be ammunition for me. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
