note 118663 added to mysqli.quickstart.dual-interface

I don't know whether I can put my opinion here, but yet… I don't think that mixing styles is so bad idea. Yes, maybe it isn't good when working in a team, but if you work on a code on your own and it's convenient for you - why not? For example, I prefer the OO style generally. But when it comes to setting connection, the procedural style provides opportunity to use easy 'or' syntax: <?php $connection = @mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '1234', 'db') or die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') ' . mysqli_connect_error()); ?> which is more convenient for me than: <?php $connection = @new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '1234', 'db'); if ($conn->connect_errno) { die('Connect Error (' . $connection->connect_errno() . ') ' . $connection->connect_error()); } ?> So why shouldn't I use the procedural style when setting connection? ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 78.56.235.128 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.quickstart.dual-interface.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118663 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118663 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118663 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
