Hey guys,

I know a lot (a whole lot) of you use PHP, so I thought this link might be interesting.

Here's the article: '[PHP-DEV] deprecating ext/mysql' - MARC

Here's the (very knowledgable) discussion on Hacker News: Hacker News | PHP to deprecate MySQL extension

What do you guys think? Personally I'm all for removing the ability to plug together strings of sql, because a lot of developers don't even know what a sql injection attack is!

    Yeah, Nothing wrong with that PDO is much more robust option (transactionse etc). Anyone that trusts user input regardless needs to be beaten with a cane pole then dropped off in the desert

    Nice. It's good that they are promoting the use of PDO. I've always thought of it as a cleaner, safer and easier way to connect to a database.
