PHP5.5 คำสั่ง mysql_ จำเป็นต้องเปลี่ยนเป็น mysqli_ หรือไม่ หรือยังใช้การเขียนรูปแบบเดิมได้

$connect = @mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

<?php    
 $host='IP or Server Name (usually "localhost") ';
 $user='Database user';
 $password='Database password';
 $db='Database name';

 //PHP 5.4 o earlier (DEPRECATED)
 $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password) or exit("Connection Error");
 $connection = mysql_select_db($db, $con);

 //PHP 5.5 (New method)
 $connection =  mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$db);
?>

<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

/* create temp table */
$mysqli->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCountry LIKE Country");

$query = "INSERT INTO myCountry SELECT * FROM Country WHERE Code LIKE ?";

/* prepare statement */
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {

    /* Bind variable for placeholder */
    $code = 'A%';
    $stmt->bind_param("s", $code);

    /* execute statement */
    $stmt->execute();

    printf("rows inserted: %d\n", $stmt->affected_rows);

    /* close statement */
    $stmt->close();
}

/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
