RE: [PHP-DB] Whats happening?! From: Dave VanAuken (dave <email protected>)

Have seen quite a few examples where the connection variable was not passed
nor globalized for MySQL connections... figured that PHP maintained or
automaticaly globalized the MySQL connection. Have had to make that change
to use the code with postgreSQL (with little other changes) thus the
presumption.

Have no problems with MySQl other than its lack of transactions and rollback
(which are forthcoming I hear)... it is just easier to use one database for
all to avoid recoding functions and classes.

Appreciate the clarification.

Dave

That's incorrect. I use mysql at work, and I still have to globalise a
connection string to use it in a function.

I prefer the mysql functions, they're a bit easier to use over the
postgresql functions in php. Slight code changes, but it's annoying.
