Should I be moving away from > the legacy mysql_* functions? I'm running php5 and mysql 4.1.11 on IIS5 and Apache 2. Finding clients who even run 4.0.x is rare for me, most still use 3.23 I find. I'm hosting my personal stuff with a company that has 4.1.x installed but it's with PHP 4 so I still use the regular mysql functions. On thing I've been doing to prepare for the switch is stuff like this: $extensions = get_loaded_extensions(); if( in_array( 'mysqli', $extensions ) ) { } elseif( in_array( 'mysql', $extensions ) ) { } -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://destiney.com/
