Which is reason enough to change now. Be proactive, not reactive. The
best analogy I can think is car insurance. Do you get it before or
after the accident you did not know when it would happen.

Pretty much every page in the PHP manual concerning the mysql_
extensions state they will be deprecated and which function to use in stead.
In fact read the FIRST sentence in the introduction.

WOW do you read the PHP manual.
Each mysql_ function that is deprecated tells you which function to user
WITH a link to it. How much easier can it be?

First off if you have your function spread across hundreds of pages, you
have a nightmare scenario and should read and learn about OOP or even
using includes and functions from a single source page.
I am sure there still may be a few people here that may help show you
how this is done.
As to when it will happen. Does not matter because they say it WILL
happen..from the 'horses mouth'.

If it is so easy to change, then why the constant defense of not doing
it to the point where soon no one will want to give you advice.
Especially when you return to fix all the items that break down the road
that we suggested you fix NOW.
