Re: mysql to mysqli

[Peter Brawley]

Change mysql_connect() to mysqli_connect(), notice the 4th param for mysqli_comnect() selects active database.

Making such calls without error trapping is bad practice. Add error trapping.

The function execute_query() will need access to the connection resource returned by the above call.

Deliberately suppressing error info from database calls, as in @mysql_query(...) in execute_query(), is also bad practice, fix that.
