FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package php7-mysql-shim
PHP 7 Shim for ext/mysql
This library attempts to create a drop-in replacement for ext/mysql on PHP 7 using mysqli.
For the most part, it should just work.
Why You Shouldn't Use This Library
This library is meant to be a stop-gap. It will be slower than using the native functions directly.
You should switch to ext/pdo_mysql or ext/mysqli, and migrate to prepared queries to ensure you are securely interacting with your database.
Installation
To install, either add dshafik/php7-mysql-shim to your composer.json:
or, clone/download this repo, and include lib/mysql.php in your project.
Usage
When installed with composer, the library is included automatically.
Once the lib/mysql.php file is included, it will create mysql_* functions if they don't already exist. You may safely include the file in a PHP 5.3.6+ project, it will do nothing if the mysql extension is already available.
Caveats
- Calls to
is_resource()andget_resource_type()on MySQL connections and results will fail as these are now theirmysqliequivalents. - Some errors are now from
ext/mysqli, and others areE_USER_WARNINGinstead ofE_WARNING. - You must use the
mysqli.*INI entries instead ofmysql.*(e.g.mysqli.default_userinstead ofmysql.default_user) - If no host, username, password parameter is provided when using the
mysql_*functions, the default values from the correspondingmysqli.*settings fromphp.inifile will be used (e.g.mysqli.default_host,mysqli.default_user,mysqli.default_pw)
Alternatives
Instead of using this drop-in-replacement library you should consider refactoring your code from mysql to e.g. mysqli. This process can be automated with e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/61597957
