MySQL 4 Doctrine Driver
=======================

[](#mysql-4-doctrine-driver)

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

MySQL 4 driver for integrating your legacy databases from within the Doctrine ORM. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of MySQL as soon as you can to avoid the use of this driver!

Installation

[](#installation)

We recommend installing this library via Composer.

```
"require": {
    ...
    "barbondev/mysql4-doctrine-driver": "dev-master"
},

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Doctrine driver to allow ORM access to a MySQL 4.\* database.

Symfony `app/config/config.yml` configuration:

```
doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver_class: Barbondev\MySQL4DoctrineDriver\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySQL4\Driver
        host:     %database_host%
        port:     %database_port%
        dbname:   %database_name%
        user:     %database_user%
        password: %database_password%
        charset:  UTF8
