PHP and MySQL

I believe that the php and mySQL tut. should be revised or deleted. Every Time I have tried to do a mysql and php connect tutorial, I have been getting the deprecated message. If anyone has been running into these problems, go to youtube and type phpacademy. He shows you how to connect with php and mysqli. You can also learn PDO but mysqli seems easier to me. Thanks

If you are interested in learning PDO with Treehouse, Randy uses it to connect to the database in the build a simple php application series.

Just like a programming book, a Treehouse course is written against a particular version of software. If you go out and buy a book on PHP & MySQL it will reference a different version as well, that's the nature of tech writing.
