PHP 7 compatibility issues
-
Hello
Thank you for a great plugin! When I run PHP Compatibility Checker to check my plugins for compatibility with PHP 7, I get the following error and warning:-
FILE: /home/myaccount/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rs-system-diagnostic/includes/admin.output-data.php
—————————————————————————————————————
FOUND 1 ERROR AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 2 LINES
—————————————————————————————————————
44 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead.
95 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4.
—————————————————————————————————————Is this something that needs to be addressed?
Thanks and regards

Hi @janaa,
Thank you for a great plugin!
You’re welcome!
The plugin is fully PHP 7 compatible. Unfortunately the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin is grossly inaccurate. It uses a flawed detection method. All it ends up doing is creating a headache for other plugin developers. If you look at it’s support threads, you’ll see it’s full of false positive reports. In our tests of over 100+ plugins, it’s had false positives in the range of 30-40% (depending on the version).
The way to accurately test PHP 7 compatibility is to run plugins on a test site on a PHP 7 system and use WP_DEBUG. (See instructions in our WordPress Debugging Guide.)
I hope this info helps!
If you have any further questions/issues, please see the sticky post at the top of the forum for support info, and we’ll be happy to help.
