Migrate core from mysql to mysqli
100%
Description
Without using dbal core still uses the mysql-extension instead of mysqli. But PHP officially claims mysql to be "legacy" and mysqli is shipped with PHP since quite a while now. Since PHP 5.3.0 now mysqli also supports persistent connections. So it should be "quite simple" to replace the few direct calls to mysql-functions with mysqli-equivalents. It's just a different ressource (well, an object then) that is returned, so the inner parts in TYPO3 passing around the DB-handler can (almost) stay as is.
All extensions should use TYPO3-functionality to access the database, so no change should be required on that part. It might be that some directly execute mysql_query()-calls or the like, so this is kind of a "break". But things are easy to fix - and then maybe they could switch to using the TYPO3-functions for it anyway :-)
Might this be a candidate for 6.0? Patch itself should be quite easy to do.
