Tony, I don't think anyone wants to drop ext/mysql, for a very simple reason, it works.I didn't propose to drop it. I just do not see any point in adding new functions and duplicating MySQLi.
As such, adding small things that make it more secure is a good thing. Just because the developers would like everyone to move over to pdo_mysql or mysqli does not mean people will or should.Wait, so why was PHP3 support discontinued? Just because the developers think it doesn't make sense to keep and old and outdated thing when a new and better replacement exists is not a reason. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
