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>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Ron</p>
