Its an interesting idea, but is there any reason for doing this as an extension? You would have to update it every time mysqli adds new parameter, and when then installing the ext on an older PHP version would cause annoying inconsistencies between the proxy class and the core ext. Unless I'm missing something, this could be easily implemented in userland.. As this ext seems to only support mysqli, the same thing could be accomplished by simply extending the MySQLI* classes, and overwriting the methods you would want to proxy.. -Hannes
