Mysql2i
=======

[](#mysql2i)

A modern compatibility layer for mysql functions in newer PHP versions.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

This library provides a bridge between the deprecated mysql extension and the newer mysqli extension, allowing legacy applications to work with newer PHP versions without rewriting all database code.

The Mysql2i library:

- Implements all mysql\_\* functions using mysqli
- Uses clean object-oriented design with SOLID principles
- Is modular and easy to extend
- Provides a simple drop-in solution for legacy projects

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Via Composer

[](#via-composer)

```
composer require mysql2i/mysql2i:dev-main
```

The explicit version constraint is necessary until a stable release is published to Packagist.

### Manual Installation

[](#manual-installation)

1. Download or clone the repository
2. Include the bootstrap file after your application's autoloader:

```
require_once 'path/to/mysql2i/src/bootstrap.php';
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once installed and included, the library will automatically provide mysql\_\* function compatibility.

### Example

[](#example)

```
// Connect to database using old mysql_* functions
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database_name', $connection);

// Run a query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");

// Process results as usual
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['name'] . "";
}

mysql_close($connection);
```

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

The library uses several design patterns:

1. **Adapter Pattern**: Adapts mysqli functionality to the mysql interface
2. **Facade Pattern**: Provides a simplified interface for the mysql functions
3. **Singleton Pattern**: Maintains a single connection manager instance
4. **Factory Pattern**: Creates and manages adapter instances
