[Xerte-dev] Re: PHP compatibility

[Ron Mitchell]

It's possible that my colleague who asked me for advice after not being able
to install might be able to fund or contribute if we can estimate how much.
They have a Moodle install on the server they were trying to install Xerte
which is hapilly running with PHP 5.5 so that can't really downgrade the
PHP. I'm happy to help with the work and certainly testing but wouldn't
really know the best solution or just how much work is involved.

It strikes me this is case where the 'scratch your own itch' principle fails
to provide an optimum solution. Do we need to find some sponsorship to pay
for the work to be done? How much work do you think there is?

I already formulated my wish to be able to use more db engines than only
mysql/mariadb.

I am willing to spend some time on it. Not sure how far I will get. But, I
simply think that we can't afford to simply formulate our wishes and expect
it to be implemented.

That doesn;t mean that we shouldn't formulate our wishes.

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.

 

( See also my previous email) 

 

I think someone needs to start from stating the requirements (do you just
want to stick to using MySQL/MariaDB) or do you need to support e.g. SQLite
(or whatever).

 

thanks,

David.
