I have started the transition to PDO. First, I wrote a test file to make
sure I knew what I was doing. Then, I rewrote the connect_to_database()
function to connect through both mysql and PDO. This did not break anything
using mysql. I then rewrote the itemid() function to use PDO, and it is
working. So we can transition to PDO without doing it all at once. We can
do it one function or file at a time. With that in mind, I can make some
fixes while also changing the database code to use PDO.
