PHP error

  • Hi

    I am seeing the below PHP 7 error in my log can you confirm if this can be ignored or will be looked at in a future update?

    Thanks

    104 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead.

    FILE: /wp-content/plugins/extended-categories-widget/2.8/class/avh-ec.category-group.php

    Hi

    Still looking for an answer to the above before I upgrade to php 7. Is this something that can be ignored?

    Thanks

    I have exactly the same question as you, WordDug. While it is just an error and not a *fatal* error, it will be fatal at some point since it’s deprecated.

    The plugin author advised he will take a look at PHP 7 compatibility over the next few weeks so hopefully will be able to resolve this error.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    the fix for PHP7 should actually be quite easy to apply – just open
    wp-content/plugins/extended-categories-widget/2.8/class/avh-ec.category-group.php and
    replace mysql_get_server_info() with mysqli_get_server_info() –
    afterwards no more warnings by “PHP Compatibility Checker” plugin should
    be displayed.
    best,

    Robert

    Thanks @harmr

    I will see about updating the plugin manually if its that easy and hopefully the author will make the change in an update soon.

    I tried to make this change on a staging site but when I updated the file it deleted all my widgets I had set up.

    So I didn’t go ahead on the live site

    Is this expected?

    Same problem here.
