   I assume you mean mysql to mysqli ?  That had been coming for years, they   
   warned it was deprecated and to be removed, they just took so long that   
   programmers saw they didn't need to "rush" - until they did when they   
   actually finally removed it   
      
   Of course as of 8.0 can no longer interface directly with cracklib for   
   easy password checking, and 8.2 what we use to be able to run in php.ini   
   as "fallback" and over ride in apache's vhost blocks with php_admin_value   
   we cant, like disable_functions, now it and select other commands need to   
   be in php.ini only, apache passes it to mod_php, but php ignores it,   
   well... at least they didnt take away openbase, that might cause a riot :)   
      
   They have now realised the life support system needed a new life itself   
   and are back to 3 years support per version, although the last being   
   security only, and was it last night I saw release of 8.5.0 JHFC, they   
   infuriate me.   
      
   Cheers
