HI Everyone,
I have PHP 7 and Apache 2.4 installed. I also have htdocs/wordpress and htdocs/phpbb installed. When I type into my address bar

localhost/wordpress or localhost/phpbb I get this:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php:1564 Stack trace: #0 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php(592): wpdb->db_connect() #1 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\load.php(409): wpdb->__construct('username_here', 'password_here', 'database_name_h...', 'localhost') #2 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-settings.php(106): require_wp_db() #3 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-config.php(89): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...') #4 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-load.php(37): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...') #5 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-blog-header.php(13): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...') #6 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\index.php(19): require('C:\\Apache24\\htd...') #7 {main} thrown in C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1564

I don't get. I can run phpinfo(); and it works.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,

according to http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php mysql_connect() is not available in PHP7 anymore.
You have to use mysqli_connect() - see http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php
Please keep in mind that this does also affect the other mysql_...-related functions which have to be replaced by mysqli_... (some functions do have other parameters than their old mysql_...-versions !!!)

Best regards
Matthias

With Wordpress it is easy to switch from MySQL to MySQLi. With custom software it might not be that easy. For those people I am still building php_mysql.dll:
