MySQL was replaced by SQLite as the default database in the very first release of 5.0.0 http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.0.0b1

Yes.

The PRIMARY reason was because of the number of non MySQL users who requested that.

No. Will you please stop trying to rewrite history. There was an outcry when MySQL was unbundled - you were probably the only PHP user who was happy about it :)

And every other non-MySQL database user. http://uk.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5 outlines some of the 'problems' but I can't find the other requests in the list archive. Although I have found ones from 2003 where I tell people HOW to enable MySQL again. I think the initial problem was that the extensions were not available for MySQL initially and took a while to appear? WHY can't MySQL simply stay in the extensions with the rest of the database extensions. Why does it have to have preferential treatment? If applications need a little database to work they use SQLite otherwise we load a suitable alternative of our choice! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
