Finding clients who even run 4.0.x is rare for me, most still use 3.23 I find.

I'm hosting my personal stuff with a company that has 4.1.x installed
but it's with PHP 4 so I still use the regular mysql functions.


On thing I've been doing to prepare for the switch is stuff like this:

$extensions = get_loaded_extensions();

if( in_array( 'mysqli', $extensions ) )
{

}
elseif( in_array( 'mysql', $extensions ) )
{

}
