mysqli support and Processwire ?

[Doc]

Hi,

I was looking for fresh news about PW and mysqli support.

The freshest I could find is https://www.cmscritic.com/processwire-2.4-released/ (april 2014).

In this article Ryan said : "The mysqli driver will continue to be supported for backwards compatibility"

Is it still true today ? (2 years and a half after that article)

I mean I'm more used to mysqli than to PDO, so can I write some custom queries with mysqli rather than with PDO without taking too much risk ?

I'd like not to rewrite everything with PDO if within a few months PW drops mysqli support, perhaps I've missed a news (I'm a newcomer with PW).

Thanks

Yes, it's still true today (that's PW 3.x). If you can though, I'd urge you to migrate to PDO

[Doc]

Thanks Kongondo.

Well, within your link it says 'Temporary wrapper to mysqli Database class for mysqli => PDO transition'.

So it seems it's not very reasonable to use mysqli

I'm starting a new project on 3.x.

[kongondo]

Exactly. The more reason you should start migrating

ok, ok, then

thanks ! I know where I'm going now.
