Hi all, I'm looking into a good versatile PDF generator class/library to use with PHP 5? --- Preferably one which is maintained somewhat recently... Mostly needed for basic pages, but I also have some longer reports (more than one 8.5 x 11 page) and it would be nice if the pdf was able to split it up without losing part of the font when crossing page boundaries etc... -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek deal...@gmail.com [db-3] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Moving from mysql functions to mysqli or PDO - which is best?
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! -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek deal...@gmail.com [db-3] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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? - Matijn
