For the most part, it should *just work*. Why You Shouldn't Use This Library ---------------------------------- [](#why-you-shouldnt-use-this-library) This library is meant to be a *stop-gap*. It will be slower than using the native functions directly. **You should switch to `ext/pdo_mysql` or `ext/mysqli`, and migrate to [prepared queries](http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepared-statements.php) to ensure you are securely interacting with your database.** Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install, either add `dshafik/php7-mysql-shim` to your `composer.json`: ``` $ composer require dshafik/php7-mysql-shim ``` or, clone/download this repo, and include `lib/mysql.php` in your project. Usage ----- [](#usage) When installed with composer, the library is included automatically. Once the `lib/mysql.php` file is included, it will create `mysql_*` functions if they don't already exist. ***You may safely include the file in a PHP 5.3.6+ project***, it will do nothing if the mysql extension is already available. Caveats ------- [](#caveats) - Calls to `is_resource()` and `get_resource_type()` on MySQL connections and results will fail as these are now their `mysqli` equivalents. - Some errors are now from `ext/mysqli`, and others are `E_USER_WARNING` instead of `E_WARNING`. - You must use the `mysqli.*` INI entries instead of `mysql.*` (e.g. `mysqli.default_user` instead of `mysql.default_user`) - If no host, username, password parameter is provided when using the `mysql_*` functions, the default values from the corresponding `mysqli.*` settings from `php.ini` file will be used (e.g. `mysqli.default_host`, `mysqli.default_user`, `mysqli.default_pw`) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 75.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
