I've added the wording I put in the patch to the RFC. For the record, it is: "The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead" This is basically a cut down version of the longer message in the manual on each ext/mysql function, except explicitly noting the deprecation. I'm not at all averse to adding a link to the Choosing an API manual page to help developers make an informed choice (and, ideally, we could beef that up to include more detail on what migration actually looks like) — this does feel like something we could tune after voting on the bigger issue, though. My intention at this stage is to call a vote next Monday: it feels like the discussion has mostly died down now (which isn't to say I think we're at a consensus necessarily — it just feels as though the flurry of opinions have been made and argued either way), and I'm hoping that everyone can have a think about where and how they'd like to see this move forward (if at all) between now and then. Given we've only just hit alpha 1, I don't think we need to rush into a decision right now for the sake of one. Thanks to everyone so far for their input — I think it's been a valuable, productive discussion. Cheers, Adam, who is still personally in favour of deprecation. :) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
