Description Mark Holmquist 2014-08-15 16:55:17 UTC

I had a person come into #mediawiki and say they got this warning:

Deprecated: mysql_query(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /var/www/mediawiki-1.22.7/extensions/mat_ext/exportcsv.php on line 35

Turns out, the mysql extension for php is in fact being deprecated.

http://php.net/manual/en/changelog.mysql.php

It may be time to determine whether we want to use PDO or mysqli instead, or if we want to support both, or what.

Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2014-08-16 10:41:43 UTC

If I interpret bug 45288 correctly, MySQLi is favored?

> /var/www/mediawiki-1.22.7/extensions/mat_ext/exportcsv.php

Where can somebody find that in Git?! 
At least the MW 1.22.9 tarball has no "mat_ext" under "/extensions".
