To those porting code from w3-msql/lite to php, a few functions are
different or missing (aside from the fact that the order of arguments is
reversed and the other signatures are different...not good design work,
imho, or was it built for msql 1.x? At any rate, conformity with the C
and Lite API should have been
maintained.).
<UL><LI>
The lite/C function
msqlStoreResult() is automatically done in msql_query() and msql().
<LI>msql_fetch_field() doesn't give you the field length value
(unlike msqlFetchField()). You have to call msql_fieldlen() to get
that.
<LI>msqlEncode() is missing. The functionality (which is
needed for pretty much ALL SQL based rdbms's) is in addSlashes() in the
String library.
</UL>
