redgorilla Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi. I have started right now my first medium sized project in PHP/MySQL and have following questions.Should i use pear extension to handle db transaction. Is it faster and more secure then write simple db handling class or use existing on? Please advice to rookie - i don't want waste time inventing one more bicycle:-) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/9329-pear-db-should-i-use-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgorilla Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is pear db class faster then core php mysql function? Does anyone have some comparison of this 2 option?

fenway Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Having never used either, I can't speak to speed/performance; however, the mysql functions in PHP aren't part of the "core" function set either; and AFAIK, the PEAR class is much more intuitive and robust.

redgorilla Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Also is pear protect from sql injection? I really don't sure should i use it or not. I will use MySQL 100%, so no other databases. I think using different database type is strongest side of Pear DB abstract layer. There are a lot of programmers here that developed big projects i think so please advice what do you use to handle database connection.

fenway Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 It may offer such protection, but it's easy to add it yourself. Just because you're only using MySQL now doesn't mean you shouldn't take advantage of a DB-independent abstraction class.
