Suggestions For A New Admin For The Link O'Rama

I was looking again at the TGPX version I grabbed from github and it appears that some of it has been changed over to PDO at some point.

I hit the mysql issues during the install. When I scanned the entire code set I found 178 occurrences of mysql_ (The start of most mysql functions) so I figured it all was mysql but apparently I was mistaken.

That makes it a bit harder to mod out, in my opinion.

Edited in: Ok, I had that wrong. They have a MYSQL class that someone created. They wrapped the class aroound MYSQl. So, it looks like PDO but it isn't PDO it is still the mysql libs under neath.

Confused me when just glancing through trying to get an idea of the scope involved in modernizing it.

Toby mentioned that it would be easier to start from scratch than updating this to mysqli or pdo.
