There was an outcry > when MySQL was unbundled - you were probably the only PHP user who was > happy about it :) And every other non-MySQL database user. http://uk.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5 outlines some of the 'problems' but I can't find the other requests in the list archive. Although I have found ones from 2003 where I tell people HOW to enable MySQL again. I think the initial problem was that the extensions were not available for MySQL initially and took a while to appear? WHY can't MySQL simply stay in the extensions with the rest of the database extensions. Why does it have to have preferential treatment? If applications need a little database to work they use SQLite otherwise we load a suitable alternative of our choice! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
