Question

So as many already know the $wpdb class in WordPress can’t deal with inserts and updates involving NULL values. This is a major headache, and there doesn’t seem to be a good way around it.

So I’m wondering what the next best way is to insert/update tables in WordPress? I liked WPDB cause of the prepared statements, so I was hoping to have something where I could continue with that. Unfortunately, no PDO support?

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Here is a solution for Null values, just create a new class by extending the wpdb class and use two new insert and update functions and to do this you can create a db.php file in your wp-content directory and drop this content in the file.

Not tested but you may give it a try.
