any reason *not* to use PEAR DB module when accessing mysql?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  (just a warning -- as a relative newbie to PHP, i'll probably have
the occasional dumb question.  just humour me.)

  i'm looking at some existing PHP code that accesses a mysql 5.0 db,
and it's coded using the mysql-specific calls:  mysql_connect,
mysql_select_db, etc, etc.

  is there any reason i *wouldn't* want to rewrite that code using the
more general PEAR DB module, and use mysqli?  certainly, as i read it,
using the PEAR DB module would make it easier down the road if i
suddenly decide to change the DB backend.

  anyway, any compelling arguments for or against?
