ID: 49280 Comment by: ar at ez dot no Reported By: ar at ez dot no Status: Feedback Bug Type: MySQLi related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment:
Hi jani! I'm not trying to workaround anything, its just that Persistent Connections are only supported on mysqli when mysqlnd is used. So it doesn't help to detect php version using PHP_VERSION, as the end user might have mysqlnd disabled / not compiled in. It is possible to detect it by by using function_exists. But since you guys might add those extra mysqlnd functions to the other mysql driver as well, that is not reliable not to mention clean. see: http://no.php.net/mysqli.mysqlnd For what I'm trying to do: eZ Publish like other php projects abstracts things, one of those is Persistent connection, witch is abstracted into a ini setting (changeable in admin gui). So I need to prepend "p:" IF user has mysqlnd, or trow a warning about unsupported setting.

Can you please explain WHAT does not work like it should when you have enabled mysqlnd..? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 14:21:35] ar at ez dot no Seems to be possible with something like this as well: strpos( mysqli_get_client_info(), 'mysqlnd ' ) !== false But constant would still be a bit cleaner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 14:10:00] ar at ez dot no Description: ------------ There doesn't seem to be possible to cleanly* detect that mysqlnd is currently in use. * Constant would be nice, preferably already in 5.3.next Detecting by presence off 'mysqli_fetch_all' or other functions is not exactly clean. Use case: Disabling / enabling Persistent Connections based on application specific settings.
