php7 mysql_connect()

  • Hi Everyone,

    I was trying to install wordpress on a Centos 7 VM

    I built apachehttpd from source
    I built php7 from source
    I built mysql-community-server from source
    I tested that httpd is up and running and phpinfo() is ok

    and then then I downloaded the latest wordpress 4.5.3 tar gz, extracted and try to install, the install.php simply gave error that mysql_connect() is not a defined function (I know thats the case in php7).

    I did some googling, not many people seem to be complaining php7 does not support mysql_connect() because of wordpress installation. and it seem that mysqli or pdo is the new way to go.
    I actually built php with the option
    ‘–with-apxs2=/usr/local/src/apachehttpd/httpd-2.4.20/install/bin/apxs’ ‘–with-pdo-mysql’ ‘–enable-embedded-mysqli’

    is wordpress php7 ready? or is there some tweak I need to do?

    below is some of my phpinfo() output.
    mysqlnd enabled
    Version mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev
    Loaded plugins mysqlnd,debug_trace,auth_plugin_mysql_native_password,auth_plugin_mysql_clear_password
    API Extensions pdo_mysql

    PDO support enabled
    PDO drivers sqlite, mysql

    PDO Driver for MySQL enabled
    Client API version mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev – 20150407

    please if someone see what I am missing let me know.
