Description

This package can be used to access MySQL databases using PDO wrapper functions.

It provides a class with functions that can access a MySQL database in a way that is compatible with the original MySQL extension.

The package provides global mysql_* functions that can be used when the original MySQL extension is not available.

Number 3
The original PHP MySQL extension is being deprecated in favor of the MySQLi or PDO extensions.

This packages implements a wrapper that provides the MySQLi extension functions using the PDO extension, so existing applications that rely on the MySQL extension can still work.

mysql methods using PDO =============================== This package can be used to access MySQL databases using PDO wrapper functions. It provides a class with functions that can access a MySQL database in a way that is compatible with the original MySQL extension. The package provides global mysql_* functions that can be used when the original MySQL extension is not available with PDO as a backend. The object duplicates all of the functionality of mysql_* functions except for mysql_info method which I tried to duplicate as best as I can, but due to PDO limitations/my knowledge I can’t do it exact. Implementation: --------------- In your bootstrap, include: // Include the definitions require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'MySQL_Definitions.php'); // Include the object require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'MySQL.php'); // Include the mysql_* functions require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'MySQL_Functions.php'); // Now all of the mysql_* methods will work on a PHP version that has them removed. (OPTIONAL : SEE DRAWBACKS) Update your error reporting to (depending on environment): error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT); // Production error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT); // Development (OPTIONAL : SEE DRAWBACKS) If you are using is_resource / get_resource_type for mysql_ methods you will need to replace them with the following functions: is_resource_custom / get_resource_type_custom. You can use your IDE to search replace or the following two lines in your project base: find ./ -type f | xargs sed -i 's/is_resource( /is_resource_custom(/' find ./ -type f | xargs sed -i 's/get_resource_type( /get_resource_type_custom(/' Who is this for? ---------------- This package is for site owners/developers who want to upgrade their PHP version to a version that has the mysql_connect/mysql_* functions removed without having to re-write their entire codebase to replace those functions to PDO or MySQLI. Why were the mysql extension removed? ------------------------------------- Lack of: * Stored Procedures (can’t handle multiple result sets) * Prepared Statements * Encryption (SSL) * Compression * Full Charset support * Security mysql_* methods are easy to understand, but hard to secure. Since it does not provide Prepared Statements, more developers (beginners in particular) are prone to security risks. Not that mysql_* methods are insecure, but it makes it easier for beginner coders to make insecure queries. Alternative host: ----------------- This project can also be found on phpclasses.org: http://www.phpclasses.org/package/8221-PHP-Access-MySQL-databases-using-PDO-wrapper-functions.html and GitHub: https://github.com/AzizSaleh/mysql I will try my best to keep them updated. Drawbacks of this library ========================= Unfortunately due to limitations, there are some things you should know before implementing this library. Resources --------- Since it is not possible to create resources on the fly in PHP. The following methods will not work as intended: is_resource get_resource_type on the following mysql functions: Function Name (resource type) (our library type) mysql_connect (mysql link) (int) mysql_pconnect (mysql link persistent) (int) mysql_db_query (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_list_dbs (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_list_fields (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_list_processors (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_list_dbs (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_query (mysql result) (PDO Statement) mysql_unbuffered_query (mysql result) (PDO Statement) To fix, you you will need to replace them with the following functions: is_resource_custom / get_resource_type_custom. You can use your IDE to search replace or the following two lines in your project base: find ./ -type f | xargs sed -i 's/is_resource( /is_resource_custom(/' find ./ -type f | xargs sed -i 's/get_resource_type( /get_resource_type_custom(/' Error Reporting --------------- If you pass a constant to the following methods (ex: string), you will trigger the following error "PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference" in PHP strict error mode (errro_reporting(>= 30720)): mysql_fetch_array mysql_fetch_assoc mysql_fetch_row mysql_fetch_object mysql_db_name mysql_dbname mysql_tablename mysql_result mysql_free_result mysql_freeresult mysql_field_len mysql_fieldlen mysql_field_flags mysql_fieldflags mysql_field_name mysql_fieldname mysql_field_type mysql_fieldtype mysql_field_table mysql_fieldtable mysql_field_seek mysql_fetch_field To fix, you will need to change your error reporting hide strict standards (anything <= 30719). Examples: error_reporting(30719); // <= 30719 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT); // Production error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT); // Development Unit Testing ------------- There are 2 unit tests available in this project: * MySQL_Test.php - Run this test is you are using PHP with mysql_connect() enabled. * MySQL_Test_After.php - Run this test if the PHP version you have does not have mysql_connect() enabled. About: ------ If you run into any issues, bugs, features or make things better please send them to me and I will get them in as soon as I can. @author Aziz S. Hussain <azizsaleh@gmail.com> @copyright GPL license @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html @link http://www.AzizSaleh.com Versions: ========= Current Version --------------- Version 1.1 Version History: ---------------- 1.0 - September 2013 * Initial release. * Tested via unit testing on PHP 5.0 1.1 - February 2014 * Initial Github release. * Sever Bugs reported by Domenic LaRosa fixed. * Tested on PHP 5.5.59 * Added is_resource_custom/get_resource_type_custom functions. * Added unit test for PHP >= 5.5.5 * Fixed some logical issues not tested on PHP >= 5.5.5 1.2 - September 2014 * Fixed an issue (Thanks to Martijn Spruit) where the script was breaking on PHP V <= 5.3.8 * Updated unit test for MySQL_Stat_Test to allow a <= 10 difference between the numbers.
