Prepared statement with PHP and MySQL without using mysqli

mysql, php, prepared-statement

Solution

The PHP documentation quite clearly states (at the end of that page) that the `mysql` extension does not support prepared statements. An alternative to `mysqli` that supports prepared statements would be `PDO_MYSQL`.

Problem

I'd like to know if it is possible to create a prepared statement with PHP and MySQL using the mysql library rather than the mysqli library. I can't find anything on the PHP documentation. Thanks.
