Some simple questions accurately imply laziness as was proven here.

Note regarding mysql_connect() and related functions:

http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php

This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and is not recommended for writing new code as it will be removed in the future. Instead, either the mysqli or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also the MySQL API Overview for further help while choosing a MySQL API.

PHP's manual designer should be whacked. Its been deprecated for far longer than that... since PHP 5.1.0 I think. That was released nearly 10 year ago.

mysqli showed up to replace it in the PHP4 days.

PDO became part of PHP standard in 5.1.0 (it was available as an extension for 5.0.x) and should be used in preference to the other DB libraries whenever possible.

Here's a PDO tutorial published a few years ago.

Mmmm, I think you need to learn PHP basics, if you did, did it again.

1. PHP isn't like AMX Mod X environment, You don't have to use sprintf() function everytime or use "%s" for echoing string. You can do it directly.

2. As Powerlord said, You should use PDO for more speed and security. Here's a newer and updated tutorial for PDO. You can use ORMs if you want like RedBean (you'll need higher skill for php to use this, but anyway redbeanphp is more awesome).

3. Don't use <?= tag, it's deprecated.

Wow, it must have been deprecated a very long time ago because I've been programming in PHP for nearly 15 years and I've never seen that syntax.

I've seen it before, but not in official PHP documentation, I was searching the whole PHP documentation for this, didn't find anything about <?= tag.
I guess it's deprecated, punished, fired then removed from documentation
