It is - just do NOT use mysql but mysqli or PDO.

No - you don't have to.

See:

<http://php.net/manual/en/class.mysqli.php>
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php>
<http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php>
<http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepare.php>

Obtuse syntax? Why?

Maybe you got confused by the fact, that mysqli comes in two flavors:
Procedural - to make it easier to migrate existing code from mysql - and
object oriented.

See <http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.quickstart.dual-interface.php>
