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?
