Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

currently, when running php-cli update scripts we are getting:

"PHP Warning:  mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch."

this is an issue with php vs. mariadb as here:

"This is because the library wrongly checks and expects that the client library must be the exact same version as PHP was compiled with."

There is a number of ways to fix it:

Ways to fix this issue:

    Switch to using the mysqlnd driver in PHP (Recommended solution).
    Run with a lower error reporting level:

    $err_level = error_reporting(0);
    $conn = mysql_connect('params');
    error_reporting($err_level); 

    Recompile PHP with the MariaDB client libraries.
    Use your original MySQL client library with the MariaDB.

Use the recommended solution and stop using the old connect method anyways.
