Re: MYSQL WTF

Mr. Efficacious, You are incorrect, sir; you do not have to use the PHP Database Object (PDO).  The MySQLi API is up-to-date and is nearly identical to using the MySQL functions.  You don't even have to use it as an object. You can use MySQLi with procedural style. Levi Morrison On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 11:57 AM, efficacious <efahkshish@gmail.com> wrote: > > Your missing the point... why would I even bother?
