You say that like I care about non-open-source databases. It's not PDO's fault that Oracle still thinks it's 1988. :-) Even if you're just using MySQL, PDO is far nicer than ext/mysql and ext/mysqli is not widely installed enough to be useful for those of us who have to deal with shared hosts. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
