[QUOTE="kailani, post: 464283, member: 96235"] Speed is probably the area I know most about PDO (I don't use it) so I shared my experience in that area, is that a crime? He is 21 so I think I'm within reason to label him a kid. I can almost guarantee this kid, yes kid, knows of very little to do with what his "cms" actually does, just read his original post (static typing, weak references, tight coupling, so much more). Why are you assuming so many things, that all seem to be false? The only message I wanted to get across to the OP is, make sure you know how to use PDO before using it, and thought that MySQLi might be more user friendly and easier for him to understand. It seems kids float around using code they have no idea what it does all the time in this community. Don't use PDO just because it looks cool to use PDO or that's what everyone else is using, use PDO because it is right for the job. He isn't even applying the advantages of PDO over MySQLi, at least not in his snippets. So yes, in this instance, PDO is overkill IF this is consistent across his whole codebase. Encapsulation at its finest. [/QUOTE]
