Hello Tom. Do you have an ETA for the patch to PHP 5.5.x for the install app. I would really like to try your apps but can't it installed. Any tips or guidance ?

Hi Michael,

>Do you have an ETA for the patch to PHP 5.5.x for the install app.

Open web/install/app/lib.inc.php in a text editor and find the following code ( near the top of the file )

$mysql_connect_error_msg = '';
function mysql_connect_error_handler( $errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline )
{
	global $mysql_connect_error_msg;
	$mysql_connect_error_msg = $errstr;
    return true;
}

Insert the lines shown below to the above function.

	if ( strpos($errstr,"mysql extension is deprecated") !== false ) {
		return false;
	}

The result should look like

$mysql_connect_error_msg = '';
function mysql_connect_error_handler( $errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline )
{
	if ( strpos($errstr,"mysql extension is deprecated") !== false ) {
		return false;
	}

	global $mysql_connect_error_msg;
	$mysql_connect_error_msg = $errstr;
    return true;
}

Run the installation script again. This time you won't get the depreciation error.
