ID: 24418 Comment by: rick_g22 at yahoo dot com Reported By: auroraeosrose at hotmail dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows XP SP1 PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-06-30 (dev) Assigned To: edink New Comment:
Um, i havent downloaded anything yet, but dont you think it's a bit too presumptuous to just remove the mysql library from the default config? (specially when the new version of mysql is coming out soon). There are tons of ppl out there who got already acquainted with mysql, and then wham, we all of a sudden we're (nearly) stuck with a whole new database (SQLite? what the ...?) that doesn't even catch wrong-type errors in database insertions. Yes, I know, maybe I'm making a lot of noise about this, but can't you just put back the mysql support "by default"? Most Web hosting companies dont care in modyfying or recompiling php (you shouldve seen the scandal i caused in my company trying to compile a not-built-in module), so the stick with the default config. I know, maybe there's a simple flag to change... but it's still a change. The webhosts who already have mysql databases will have to go thru yet another hire-the-expert routine to enable mysql. At least i think you should open a forum or something explaining the reasons for the php-mysql divorce. Or am I really making too much fuzz about this?

And I don't have the resources (or really the knowledge) to compile php for windows from cvs so I have to rely on snaps (p.s., the last one didn't build...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24418&edit=1
