I wonder if there have been any plans or suggestions (while dropping the old ext/mysql code) to provide some sort of seamless migration/alternatives (similar way it has been done in case of libmysql and mysqlnd)? In short - just aliasing the old mysql_* to mysqli_* functions (as most used like _query, _fetch_row/assoc have just mixed variable order)? rr
