Doesn't support: Non-blocking, asynchronous queries - that's also a reason to not use PDO, it doesn't suppose async queries (unlike mysqli)

| Mar 4, 2022 at 3:03 | comment | added | Shayne | The prepared statements thing is the big one for me. Much of PHPs early reputation as being a cursed language security wise stems from the early days where the combination magic variables and SQL via interpolation combined to make for some very stupid code. Prepared statements go a LONG way to preventing this. Never interpolate SQL. Just.... dont do it. | |

Adjust tenses etc now that PHP 5.x is past end of life instead of just being schedule for EOL.

| Dec 24, 2012 at 17:43 | comment | added | Quentin | @LightnessRacesinOrbit — Deprecation isn't a magic bullet, it is a flag that says "We recognise this sucks so we aren't going to support it for much longer". While having better future proofing of code is a good reason to move away from the deprecated features, it isn't the only one (or even the main one). Change tools because there are better tools, not because you are forced to. (And changing tools before you are forced to means that you aren't learning the new ones just because your code has stopped working and needs fixing yesterday ... which is the worst time to learn new tools). | |
| Dec 24, 2012 at 14:29 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | Deprecation isn't the magic bullet everyone seems to think it is. PHP itself will not be there one day, yet we rely on the tools we have at our disposal today. When we have to change tools, we will. | |

Not yet deprecated, unfortunately. But let's be accurate.
