title: mysql support in php 7
body: <p>I have a huge product which was developed on php5.5, so the queries were written using mysql.</p>
  
  <p>As PHP 7 &amp; > has removed the support of mysql, now I am forced to use mysqli instead, but this will consume too much time for me.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any temporary solution to make mysql queries work with PHP 7 for a while? As I am planing to migrate to mysqli but for mean while I need to make the code work with PHP 7 + mysql. </p>
