Hey Xinchen,

Couldn't we just write a compatibility layer, like Anthony did for  
password_hash? (but in the opposite direction, for people who are stuck  
with ext/mysql and want to upgrade to 7)

There'll be one problem with mysqli being an object and not a resource,  
but I'm sure would be able to solve it.
