wpdb-mysqli | WordPress plugin for working with the “mysqli” PHP extension
This plugin is created to help you make WordPress run not with the default mysql PHP extension, but with mysqli. In general there are rarely hosting environments in which there is only mysqli and no mysql, but for those rare occasions this plugin will save your ass ;)
Additionally, if you think you can get some extra performance from using the mysqli extension instead of the default one, install this plugin and compare the benchmarks.
Download
- wpdb-mysqli.zip (4.0 KB)
Installation
- Download the installation archive and uncompress
- Upload the unarchived folder to your plugins directory (this is
wp-content/plugins/) - Activate the plugin in your WordPress administration panel (this is the Plugins page)
- That’s it ;)
Usage
There is nothing for you to set up or change — this plugin works under-the-hood swapping the core wpdb class with a new one, which can work with mysqli. So sit down and enjoy the ride ;)
Updates
- (July 13, 2010) The first version 0.1 is out!
Every journey starts with one small baby step, and today is the day this journey starts ;) The plugin is out, and I’ve applied to put it to the official WordPress plugin repository: I hope they will approve it (soon, or eventually).
