[Xerte-dev] Re: PHP compatibility

[Tom Reijnders]

I understand where you are coming from, and I understand your reasoning. 
But I respectfully disagree.

This is just a typical re-factoring which we will be obliged to do from 
time to time. No new functionality involved, perhaps new opportunities.

The question is more MySQLi vs. PDO.  Or a more generic approach Like 
David Goodwin used for authentication. We don't do anything fancy with 
the database.
