Apply with: "patch -p0 < wordpress-2.0.7-mysqli.patch" in the WordPress install directory.
MySQLi support for WordPress 2.0.6
Sat, 06 Jan 2007 01:40:04 -0800
WordPress 2.0.6 was released earlier today. Shortly after I made the 2.0.5 patch. Oh well. Simple enough to make one for 2.0.6.
Patch file: wordpress-2.0.6-mysqli.patch
Apply with: "patch -p0 < wordpress-2.0.6-mysqli.patch" in the WordPress install directory.
Quick hack: MySQLi support for WordPress 2.0.5
Fri, 29 Dec 2006 18:34:53 -0800
I wrote this quick hack to enable mysqli calls on WordPress. I prefer using mysqli on all my projects, and typically look change the packages I use to use it as well. I was surprised to see WordPress didn't use some bundled database abstraction layer; although those typically create more overhead, with such a large userbase I thought it would be in there. Oh well.
It wasn't very difficult, and seems to work 100% so far (how do I know? You're using it right now!)
Patch file: wordpress-2.0.5-mysqli.patch
Apply with: "patch -p0 -u < wordpress-2.0.5-mysqli.patch" in the WordPress install directory.
Any comments? Feel free to share! Note: this is the first patch I've created, bear with me while I learn

According to someone on the forum, there may be an easier way to do it soon just by supplying a different PHP file. However, for now, it is still easiest to just apply the patch.
