I think I originally switched because the authentication being used by MySQL wasn't supported by the old mysql library. You could switch the authentication scheme, but since I have all my stuff running on mysqli, phpbb, joomla, and mambo before that, I didn't see any reason to stop using it. Roundcube made it very easy through its DB abstraction.

Also, Roundcube uses mysql and not mysqli for MySQL be default. I didn't know if anybody else had tried it yet.

Is there any particular reason that we are using the mysqli driver? I know that with PHP 5.0.3, the 'mysql' driver works fine against a MySQL 4.1.10+ db - they fixed the backwards compatibility issue. I don't know about php4, and I suppose for those people who are on php5 (<5.0.3) they might need it...

This wasn't particularly highly publicized, so not everyone is necessarily aware of it.

I guess if the db abstraction is handling it, it doesn't matter.

I'm running the 20051021 build on PHP 5 and MySQLi. Working fine so far. I do not have a lot of people to test it. I had to make the following changes.

Insert the following after the mysql case ending on line 174 of rcube_db.inc

case 'mysqli': return mysqli_insert_id($this->db_handle->connection);

In db.inc.php make this change to line 21

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysqli://user:pass@localhost/dbname';

If you have chrooted mysql and have to use TCP like me then remember

to

change the host accordingly.

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysqli://user:pass@127.0.0.1/dbname';

If this was already posted by somebody then never mind. :-)
