Comment (by MattyRob):

 I guess this is an issue because we are tring to be function consistent
 between mysqli and mysql but unfortunately the functions don't work the
 same or maybe don't exist. How about accepting that limitation and
 documenting it:


 {{{
 if ( $this->use_mysqli ) {
         // using mysqli allows direct comparison of the client mysqldn
 verison
         return mysqli_get_client_version( $this->dbh ) >= 50503;
 } else {
         // using mysql fall back functions
         return version_compare( mysql_get_client_info(), '5.5.3', '>=' );
 }
 }}}
