为什么我不应该在 PHP 中使用 mysql * 函数？

Question

What are the technical reasons for why one shouldn't use mysql_* functions? (e.g. mysql_query(), mysql_connect() or mysql_real_escape_string())?

Why should I use something else even if they work on my site?

If they don't work on my site, why do I get errors like

Warning: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory

The MySQL extension:

• Is not under active development
• Is officially deprecated as of PHP 5.5 (released June 2013).
• Has been removed entirely as of PHP 7.0 (released December 2015)
  • This means that as of 31 Dec 2018 it will not exist in any supported version of PHP. Currently, it only gets security updates.
• Lacks an OO interface
• Doesn't support:
  • Non-blocking, asynchronous queries
  • Prepared statements or parameterized queries
  • Stored procedures
  • Multiple Statements
  • Transactions
  • The "new" password authentication method (on by default in MySQL 5.6; required in 5.7)
  • All of the functionality in MySQL 5.1

Since it is deprecated, using it makes your code less future proof.

Lack of support for prepared statements is particularly important as they provide a clearer, less error-prone method of escaping and quoting external data than manually escaping it with a separate function call.
