1. Add this link to the RFC?:

As the author I cannot recommend materials created in 2006 and not updated since then for inclusion into a RFC.

At the end of the day this is the problem all around. There needs sufficient volume of mysqli examples and tutorials to at least get some on a search for 'mysql php tutorial'. This IS all about education carrots rather than irritating sticks. Perhaps there needs to be a concerted campaign to get the key tutorials such as at http://www.w3schools.com updated to a much more modern format? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
