Prompted by this thread, I had a look at mysqli_ yesterday. Trouble is,
I have some 250 pages all using mysql_. It would be quite a lot of work
to change them, especially since there seems to be no mysqli_result
function. Once the job goes away from being a straight search/replace,
it's gonna get quite long, for me.
If I were starting from scratch, that would be a different matter.
