[Phpmyadmin-devel] Deprecating the mysql extension

[Marc Delisle]

Hi,
yesterday at our team meeting, we decided that for the 4.2 version, we
would tell users that the mysql extension is deprecated, and we would
remove support for it in the 4.3 version.

I would like to go further (for 4.2), to better help our users:

- remove the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] directive
- always try to load mysqli
- if this fails, try to load mysql
-- if this fails, give up (like we currently do)
-- if this works, display a strong message explaining that this
extension is no longer recommended and will be deprecated in the next
version

Comments?
