#37828 [NEW]: mysql and mysqli consistancy

From: james at cyberflowsolutions dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: mysql and mysqli consistancy Description: ------------ Would it be possible at some point to add a be_consistant flag that would alter the way functions take paramters? EG: all mysql functions are in the form mysql_query("query", db_connection) but MOST mysqli functions are mysqli_query (db_connection, "query") likewise, the order of haystacks and needles in string functions is a craps shoot. I understand this would create backwards compatability problems, but if it were maybe a flag in the config not on by default... consistancy is good for consistancies sake, and it would allow people to use variable functions more instead of having to write wrapper functions just to swap paramter order. Overall, thanks for creating an amazing product that has made my life alot simpler than writing perl :) -- James -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37828&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37828&r=mysqlcfg
