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

                      I created an issue for this already. The situtaion
                      is as follows:<br>
                      <br>
                      - Xerte uses the php mysql module, which is
                      deprecated from php 5.5<br>
                      - There is (already a long time) a new MySQLi
                      (mysql improved) module which we don't use<br>
                      - There is PDO.<br>
                      <br>
                      No idea how we are going to move forward (MySQLi
                      of PDO) in Xerte, but your collegue needs to make
                      sure to have mysql support in php for the time
                      being.<br>

                        <p>Hi all</p>
                        <p>I just received one or two emails from a
                          colleague trying to install Xerte on a Windows
                          server and getting a message during setup that
                          'Your PHP does not seem to have MySQL support'
                          however phpinfo does show that MySQLi is
                          enabled.</p>
                        <p> </p>
                        <p>Do I recall previous discussion that the
                          current Xerte codebase isn't likely to work
                          with later versions of PHP because of MySQL
                          integration changes? This server is PHP 5.5.4.
                          If so has anyone been working on that for 2.1?</p>
