Say WHAT?
... what makes you think that current servers, which almost all offer
at least TWO versions of PHP to its users will stop doing that? Some
even offer THREE I've come across in the past.
DEPRECATED means removed from a VERSION of the language, not ALL
versions!

And just who is going to force server admins to have a dictated
version of PHP available and no other?

It's myopic crap-thinking like that, that gets my attention here. And
besides, mysql i isn't all that different from mysql, period. It's just
not the Armageddon arrival as some are working so hard to point out.
If you want to help, TEACH ; otherwise phase out. Forget the vague
warnings and scenarios of web sites not working overnight. You have a
version of PHP SET for your site on any good server, and the appearance
of a new version is NOT going to automatically be applied to your sites!!

True, and that should be your job; NOT making gregarious claims that all
sites will stop working if/when a server's admin employs a new version
of a program!

THEN SAY SO! Quit hiding behind the depracated but I'll not impart any
further comment mentaility!

Where did that come from? You mean using a different version, when the
latest version provides NO improvements, should automatically be
implemented? That's nonsense.

No, they are not; they are employing ego-driven scare tactics and saying
nothing but it's depracated - hell, in this whole thread the version
number has never even been mentioned in any way -- why is THAT?
