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.
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".
