No, just no. If you are going to stick to depreciated functions, don't even bother writing anything that involves a database. Use the MySQLi or PDO classes. The MySQLi class is preferred (if you don't intend to switch DBMSs at some point) because it has better performance than PDO (for MySQL), specifically due to the fact MySQLi is designed for MySQL while PDO aims to support multiple DBMSs. They are both equally good though, so no one should judge which you pick!
