What is "native SQL Implementation for prepared statments"? All I want to do is use prepared statements in a non-emulated way. Like ODBC, OCI8, mssql callable statements, etc. I want the speed improvement of using non-emulated prepared statements. > It's always easy to claim that stuff other people created (and spent a > lot of time on it) sucks.

Yes, it is easy, you're right. :) I was looking forward to the speed increase of using native prepared statements, but it is not useful for anything I'm doing if the prepared statement API is completely different from standard queries. I don't think that there's an issue with documentation here. The behavior of mysqli is consistent with everything I read, I just couldn't believe that it was actually implemented that way. Anyway, I assume this is a MySQL API, and doesn't have anything to do with the PHP port. Hopefully PDO can / does take advantage of the native prepared statements without the exceptional API.
