> who forces you to ext/mysql? It's out of topic but obviously the code/software and products on the servers.
For me as a system administrator I have choice either to never upgrade (for example https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/all/all one can see the rough rate of php version adoption) or work around the issues/lack of features in the deprecated stuff (or answer why I broke everything). While I prefer bleeding edge it's not always an option (to force everyone) and in general 7.1+ext/mysql+mysqlnd works just fine. rr -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
