How can outdated PHP resources, like tutorials or code snippets, impact the functionality of a PHP script?

Outdated PHP resources may contain deprecated functions or syntax that can lead to errors or unexpected behavior in a PHP script. To resolve this issue, it is important to update the code to use current best practices and functions provided by the latest PHP versions. 

// Example of outdated PHP code using mysql_connect function
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$conn = mysql_connect($servername, $username, $password);
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysql_error());
}
```

```php
// Updated PHP code using mysqli_connect function
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
