  The PHP MySQL API will still work for you.

  Additionally, there is a new API that is currently in development that
  is intended to support the new features of MySQL like SSL connections,
  prepared statements, etc.

  Cheers!

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.

Upgrading to version 4.

[Maximo Migliari]

In the MySQL manual, under http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html

it says:
---
The old C API functions mysql_drop_db, mysql_create_db, and mysql_connect 
are not supported anymore, unless you compile MySQL with 
CFLAGS=-DUSE_OLD_FUNCTIONS. Instead of doing this, it is preferable to 
change the client to use the new 4.0 API.

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.

Thanks,
Maximo.
