my current test was to change it to use mysql_config to retrieve the library details which seemed to work.

Does that work all the way back to MySQL 3.23.x? It is important that ext/mysql stays compatible with 3.23 and 4.0 as these client library versions are not supported by ext/mysqli ...

If it's been EOL'd or NLS'd then working on it doesn't make for a sound decision and my time would be better spent learning how to replace mysql calls with mysqli calls if mysqli has been proven to work properly with mysql-ssl connections.

if you stay with the procedural interface then it comes down to 'just' *always* putting in the database handle as first parameter instead of doing so optionally as last parameter only ...
