Doc Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 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).

kongondo Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yes, it's still true today (that's PW 3.x). If you can though, I'd urge you to migrate to PDO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Exactly. The more reason you should start migrating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
