There is nothing like being timely and my time is about up to convert mysql queries to mysqli queries.
The second one took no where near as long as the first one.
The third one caused me some problems and in the process of getting that one working I discovered that this code
PHP Code:
echo $row[0],$row[1],$row[2] . "<br />";
would work when displaying a query result that only contained data from 3 columns while using the old mysql format
PHP Code:
echo $row['id'],$row['title'],$row['rate'] . "<br />";
throws an Undefined index: error.
Converting the $row[x] to a named variable as the rows are processed also works and may be the more simple approach as I format the data later in the script. I may answer my own question.
My mind says that conversion makes it easier to follow a year from now but the $row[x] method sure is faster.
What say you? Is there a proper practice?
