Deprecated mysqli Functions
Having noticed the release of PHP 5.5.10 last week while I was speaking at UTOUG, I checked the deprecated
mysqli functions web page. There weren’t any deprecated by 5.5. Unfortuantely, there were six mysqli functions deprecated in 5.3 and removed in 5.4. Unfortunately, many of my posted code examples use 5.2 or 5.3 where they would have worked. The deprecated mysqli functions are:
mysqli_bind_parammysqli_bind_resultmysqli_client_encodingmysqli_fetchmysqli_param_countmysqli_send_long_data
Unfortunately, that puts a lot of updates on my queue of things to do. I imagine it likewise imposes limits on those running commercially on PHP 5.3 or older that plan an upgrade.
It does remind me that I need to pay close attention to the deprecation of mysqli functions with each release. These are actually the largest change since PHP 5.0.
