I was not discussing the pdo_mysql extension. I was discussing the
mysql_extension - which does NOT support prepared statements. And
pdo_mysql in PHP 4.1 only emulated prepared statements; it did not
support the MySQL version of prepared statements directly.

No, I am not. If I had meant pdo_mysql, I would have SAID pdo_mysql.

Wow - you can copy and paste!

You mean the PDO authors wrote their own mysql client library?
Interesting that they would go to all that trouble when the MySQL client
library is readily available for use. It is also debugged and changes
as necessary with MySQL versions.

Glad I don't use PDO.

Who cares about old versions? Nothing in his update says he's using an
old version.

Maybe you're not sure because you don't know anything.

Don't let the point on your head puncture your colon.
