title: Will installing mysqlnd break existing code in PHP which uses mysql?
body: <p>I'm moving my code from using mysql in PHP to mysqli. In order to get the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.get-result.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mysqli get_result()</a> function to work I need to install mysqlnd as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13159518/how-to-enable-mysqlnd-for-php">said here on SO</a>. This involves removing the existing php-mysql extension, and now I just want to make sure (those of you who did this) that once I remove the mysql with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yum remove php-mysql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and install mysqlnd with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yum install php-mysqlnd
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the other code (there's  a lot of existing codebase) that uses mysql will still work?</p>
  
  <p>My PHP Version is 5.3.27</p>
