Upgrade from Mysql to Mysqli

The MySQLi Shift upgrades code using the MySQL extension to use the MySQLi extension.

The MySQL extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5 and removed in PHP 7. Upgrading your code to use the MySQLi extension provides a familiar, improved API and keeps you compatible with the latest versions of PHP.
