migrating to the pdo mysql driver

Is that the mysqli vs. mysql thing?

Sort of. There are three PHP mysql drivers. The old mysqld which was removed from PHP 7.0. Mysqli and the PDO Mysql. The PDO driver is pretty much the standard one nowadays.

Got it. I thought this article explains well the work involved.

Yep. That's what I've started doing. I'm also moving all the database interaction into a set of database access objects so it won't be mixed in with the rest of the code.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, good choice, even if we hadn't needed to update drivers.

Good move. I imagine that'll make bootstrapifying the pages a bit easier.

There's also some weird stuff going on where tables are being created. I think that can be eliminated with some better indexing.

Hey. New board.

Sometimes I think I know some things about computers, and then I read a page like this.
