title: Codeigniter: Using PDO instead of mysql
body: <p>Until Codeigniter implements the use of PDO, is there a way to use hack it into CI that's <strong>stable and secure</strong>? Currently, instead of using the db driver, I'm using a model instead which has all my PDO code like <code>prepare</code>, <code>fetch</code>, <code>execute</code>, etc. in it. What are the rest of you doing?</p>
