Remove. Actually..should that mysql_db_query() be deprecated too? Starting 4.0.6 with warning?

That sounds like a good move to me (provided it's just a warning for now). It probably shouldn't be completely removed until 4.1.

I'd save the warning for 4.1. Really? And can you please give any reasons? And some reasoning for all these other stupid things that are dragged along from version to version and not started to be depreciated (with a warning..) ?

Because a 0.0.1 version is a minor version and I don't think it is appropriate to change this kind of behavior in a minor version. There are things I would like to have changed too but I don't feel an x.x.1 version is the right time to do that. It's just my personal opinion. I respect yours too. Andi

The crap about breaking someone's scripts is not any good reason. If people don't bother to read NEWS files, it's their own fault if their scripts break, IMNSHO. I'd like to see the 'break soon' movement to get stronger among the core developers. As there really are no alternatives for doing this. If you do it slowly, it will hurt more than if it's done very quickly. Like pulling a tooth.. Bloating a language with dozens of 'backwards compatibility aliases', with functions which are not supposed to be used anymore, etc. is worse thing than maybe breaking someone's scripts. There are a lot of people out there who are starting to use PHP at this very moment. If these depreciated things are not removed soon, the removing of them will bite more and more people when (if never?) it's done. And saying here that the new users don't know about these..well, go and read some of those PHP tutorials out there..many of them were written before PHP 4 was even released. As also many books. There are lot of code snippets to be downloaded out there which might also contain these depreciated aliases/functions/language constructs. --Jani p.s. Why it has to be always me who rants? Anyway, I will keep ranting until something is really DONE..and not just talked about..even if I start sounding like a broken record.
