That's why my application finds mysql_* functions in all of the file and if that keyword exists without a comment, you will be shown an error telling you to switch over to MySQLi_* or PDO. This message won't disappear until you have removed or commented the line that it is complaining about.
I know this is not a smart way for beginners, but in the long run. They'll have to switch over anyways. Plus, the PHP documents already said it's deprecated, but people still use these functions because they find 10 year old tutorials and they just copy&paste them. This helps encourage them to at least copy&paste newer codes.
