Maximo,
My company's website is running version 3.23.53a, and the main client
that
uses MySQL is PHP 4.2.3. Will mysql_connect() no longer work in
PHP? Although this manual entry is talking about the C API functions,
I
assume PHP uses these to communicated with MySQL. Perhaps I might be
wrong, but I would like to just double check.
PHP's mysql_connect() is just a wrapper around the C API mysql_connect.
Huh? PHP's mysql_connect() has been using mysql_real_connect() for
several years now.
As the manual says:
"This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use
mysql_real_connect() instead."
I assume that PHP 4.2.3 is already using mysql_real_connect(). If this
is not the case, I'm quite sure (if no one here disagrees ;) that PHP 5
will.
And I'm really sure that it will always be called mysql_connect() in
PHP, just to keep things easy.
