I'm not really convinced the average user ever looks at the manual for things they know, truth be told.
Well, I'd expect people actively developing applications in PHP to use the docs from time to time. But my concern is for people using legacy apps. True, they might not use the docs at all and the only warning they'll get when they do their usual PHP upgrade is error logs stuffed full of E_DEPRECATED. So what is they going to do in that case? Disable the notice, of course. Just a random thought: is it possible to 'emulate' ext/mysql funcs using, say, ext/mysqli, similar to how ext/mhash functions are now emulated by ext/hash? -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime profiling for PHP -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
