Re: MySQLi Compat question

I'm in general for this sort of thing (perhaps a new Compat toplevel 'namespace'). But have the license issues been worked out with mysqli yet? Last I check it was on the verge of being de-bundled. Also (since this mail is clearly stream-of-consciousness), how about juts adding the compat functions into the mysqli extension itself and adding a --mysqli-enable-compat flag or some such.

Hello all. Sterling directed me toward these parts regarding a MySQL/MySQLi compatibility layer [*] I've been doing some work on. Basically, the purpose is to eliminate the need to have two separate extensions installed (both mysql and mysqli) by implementing in the mysql extension functionality as user-space functions which are based in mysqli. I've had good success on my own systems with this script, and thought that it might be something that might be extremely useful for inclusion when PHP5 rolls out the door. I've got most of the functionality implemented and would implement the remaining handful of functions, etc.If there's interest.
