The "regular" MySQL library has been deprecated, meaning all of the functions
that start with mysql_*


Thanks for the pointers. After some top level cursory reading the new means seem to do the same, just with a more complicated syntax (bleah!). This might be not the right place to ask, but why depricate the MySQL library? I could understand if MySQL usage was close to zero, but it remains a popular RDBMS.

Just wondering, because my son asked me how to make a web form that connects to a database and I rather not teach him stuff that is about to be obsolete.
