Topic: Is php-mysql deprecated in favor of php-mysqlnd?

Hi,

I was curious to know whether php-mysql had been deprecated in favor of php-mysqlnd?


It seems that php-mysql is only available in the remi repo, and not in the remi-php55 repo.

Since the two don't have the same php version, I assume they wouldn't work together, so I was just curious to know whether php-mysql would ever be available in remi-php55?


My thanks for supporting this repo!

Cheers,

Re: Is php-mysql deprecated in favor of php-mysqlnd?

php-mysqlnd provides the 3 same extensions than php-mysql (mysql, mysqli, and pdo_mysql).
This is only a matter of MySQL driver (libmysqllient vs mysqlnd)

And i really think it's good to get rid of this dependency on libmysqlclient.
