PHP ohne mysql-Extension

Um eine MySQL-Datenbank mittels PHP anzusprechen, benötigt man eine der beiden Extensions mysql oder (besser) mysqli. Während aktuelle Entwicklungen wohl die mysqli-Extension, dürften nahezu alle Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre auf die mysql-Extension aufbauen.

In einer Nachricht an die PHP-Malinglist "php-internals" hat Entwickler Phillip Olson erste Andeutungen siehe unten) gemacht, mysql in kommenden PHP-Versionen nicht mehr zu unterstützen. Die Folge für bestehende Webseiten wäre enorm, sobald der Webserver auf eine aktuelle PHP-Version updatet.

Greetings PHP geeks,


Don't panic! This is not a proposal to add errors or remove this popular extension. \
Not yet anyway, because it's too popular to do that now.


The documentation team is discussing the database security situation, and educating \
users to move away from the commonly used ext/mysql extension is part of this.


This proposal only deals with education, and requests permission to officially \
convince people to stop using this old extension. This means:


 - Add notes that refer to it as deprecated
 - Recommend and link alternatives
 - Include examples of alternatives


There are two alternative extensions: pdo_mysql and mysqli, with PDO being the PHP \
way and main focus of future endeavors. Right? Please don't digress into the PDO v2 \
fiasco here.


What this means to ext/mysql:


 - Softly deprecate ext/mysql with education (docs) starting today
 - Not adding E_DEPRECATED errors in 5.4, but revisit for 5.5/6.0
 - Add pdo_mysql examples within the ext/mysql docs that mimic the current 
   examples, but occasionally introduce features like prepared statements
 - Focus energy on cleaning up the pdo_mysql and mysqli documentation
 - Create a general "The MySQL situation" document that explains the situation


The PHP community has been recommending alternatives for several years now, so \
hopefully this won't be a new concept or shock to most users.


Regards,
Philip
