cprn17055yIt's not the beginner stage, this is 0 abstraction. Kindergarten kids are capable of understanding 1 level of abstraction. And the PHP 5.6 updates ended on 2018-12-31, it was the last version to support `mysql` extension. Teaching it now is like teaching web design 101 using Internet Explorer on Windows 98. Second Edition.

cprn17055y@gaffletron You want them to get that shock when they finally get their dream job coding position and find out they'll be maintaining old codebase from before PHP 7? Oh, they should be learning. Just the correct way. The `mysql` extension was already deprecated when PHP 5.5 was out.

@cprn i know you are right... it just sucks. You can't even get any supported packages for php 5.4 anymore, but you still gotta learn 5.3 if you wanna get that first php job
