Server behaviours are old school!

[matthew stuart]

"Server behaviours are old school!" was a comment made to me earlier today which has been playing on my mind!

Am I doing things the old way now? Since Adobe has removed the database panels, perhaps I am! I often see Adobe doing things that I consider to be commercial suicide, but it often turns out to be a move that is well thought out because the industry is moving in the direction applicable to an Adobe decision... or perhaps Adobe making the decision has forced the industry to move with them...

Should I be doing things differently to future proof myself? If so, how?

This is an ignorant answer. Server behaviors are not a code style, they are (used to be?) a DW mechanism to write repetitive code faster. The code Server behaviors output today is "old school", Server behaviors are a brilliant DW feature and so many DW users do not understand Adobe's decision to dump them instead of updating them...

Ah, OK, so only DW users know the phrase Server Behaviours then... just as recordset is only a DW phrase.

So, as having learnt to code and build sites mainly from a DW point of view, why are they old school and what is their replacement now the server behaviours panel has gone?

Thanks.

The mysql PHP extension is being dropped in favor of the mysqli extension. To this day, there is no real replacement for old server behaviors.
