As the author I cannot recommend materials created in 2006 and not updated since then for inclusion into a RFC.
At the end of the day this is the problem all around. There needs sufficient volume of mysqli examples and tutorials to at least get some on a search for 'mysql php tutorial'. This IS all about education carrots rather than irritating sticks. Perhaps there needs to be a concerted campaign to get the key tutorials such as at http://www.w3schools.com updated to a much more modern format?
There was a concerted campaign to get w3schools updated, but as far as I know, it's fallen on deaf ears. And it's not just their PHP info that's outdated. See w3fools.com Cheers, David
