How can deprecated functions like mysql_db_query and mysql_result be replaced in PHP 5.4?

Deprecated functions like mysql_db_query and mysql_result can be replaced in PHP 5.4 by using the MySQLi or PDO extension. These extensions provide more secure and efficient ways to interact with databases. By updating your code to use MySQLi or PDO functions, you can ensure compatibility with newer versions of PHP and maintain the security of your application.

// Connect to the database using MySQLi
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');

// Perform a query using MySQLi
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM table");

// Fetch results using MySQLi
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    // Process each row
}

// Close the connection
$mysqli->close();
