Doc #73519 [Opn->Nab]: Confusing|Contradicting version requirements in Online Documentation

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73519&edit=1 ID: 73519 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: BowlingAddict at gmail dot com Summary: Confusing|Contradicting version requirements in Online Documentation -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem -Package: Documentation problem +Package: MySQLi related Operating System: not applicable PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As with every other page that shows an object-oriented and a procedural version, the description underneath the two applies to both. They do, and in fact are, the same thing, and since nothing else on the page suggests that the two are available in different versions of PHP then the "PHP 5 >= 5.5.0" is also true for both. "MySQL 5.6 and above" means you have to be running version 5.6 or later of MySQL, as in MySQL the database management system. On a related note, PHP does not have an "InnoDB engine".

Requires MySQL 5.6 and above' Test script: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- Assuming this is simply confusing, not contradicting. By that I mean I'm assuming that object-oriented approach requires version 5.5.0+ and the procedural approach requires version 5.6.0+ Would suggest if that is the case, you add parallel requirements verbiage in each section for clarity. If that is not the case, and version 5.6.0+ is required for both approaches, fix the requirement at the top of the document. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73519&edit=1
