MySQL Native Driver for PHP, mysqlnd
- smoody 18y ago"persistent connections for ext/mysqli" That could be a big win for php apps that are coded against mysqli api vs. the PDO api. I can't wait to give it a shot! I also read somewhere that common open source PHP apps (Wordpress et al) running against PHP 5.3 are experiencing a 10% - 25% increase in performance vs. 5.2X, which is mighty nice.
- iigs 18y agoAll of these things sound nice, and I'm sure they'll be a big win for PHP, but I would like to know more about this native driver and why it was deemed better to fork/rewrite than to contribute those changes to libmysql. From an operations or test perspective this just exploded a three test case matrix (libmysql + {mysql,mysqli,pdo}) to a six case matrix ({libmysql,mysqlnd} x {mysql,mysqli,pdo}). As these two libraries mature and evolve it may be possible to arrive at a situation where certain applications can't co-reside on the same machine, which could be a real problem in a shared hosting environment.
