FS#2068 - Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future

My version of PHP still shows deprecation warnings with flyspray.

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /var/www/flyspray.itiab.co.nz/htdocs/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 353

Have all mysql.connect instances been removed? The connect will be removed from PHP soon and will cause problems.

Have you tried to change it to

dbtype="mysqli"

in flyspray.conf.php?

@all: Should we consider this at upgrades and give option to users to change their old setting from mysql to mysqli driver?

The PDO connection api could be considered too.

A comparison of them both here:

Good to see what fits best.

Altered connection as per your suggestion - logged in - no message.

Thanks

I got the same thing after upgrading my version of PHP. Followed the above to change the DB type and it worked.

I got the same error. It indeed gets away when changing to mysqli driver.
If the "mysql" one is deprecated, meant to disappear and "mysqli" does the job, is there any reason to keep it around?

Yeah, we should handle this during upgrade process in future. (Check if mysqli extension is available/active and if yes change from mysql to mysqli)

I hesitated to remove the 'mysql'-option because it could be that on an old web/local hosting the mysql extension could be active but not the 'mysqli'. But maybe this is quite ancient now after all that long time of deprecated 'mysql'-extension..

Maybe you could keep "mysql", but put a big red warning next to it saying something like "mysql extension is deprecated, will likely output PHP warnings with a recent PHP version and support may be dropped in the future by Flyspray. Use mysqli instead". Or something like this.

At least, it spares us wasted time when we don't know. When both are presented side by side, the same way, I had no idea that one was deprecated, so I choose randomly.

I think if you just make it clear during install that "mysql" support is deprecated and only kept for compatibility with old web servers and should be avoided when possible, or what not, then it's ok to keep it, I guess.

No time wasted for the common user with recent versions, and users with special (old) needs stay happy too.
