So here's the problem, the script I purchase is written on PHP 5.x, and I'm using xampp with PHP7.x installed for development. Now I want to migrate my script to PHP7.x. Now I know this was asked a million times already but do you mind if you could take a look at my code and give your thoughts about it, or simply share your knowledge. I would deeply appreciate it.
Here is the code for my config.php
<?php
// mySQL information
$server = 'localhost'; // MySql server
$username = 'admin'; // MySql Username
$password = 'admin' ; // MySql Password
$database = 'arcade'; // MySql Database
// The following should not be edited
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
$con = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($database, $con);
// Get settings
if (!isset($install)) {
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ava_settings");
while ($get_setting = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$setting[$get_setting['name']] = $get_setting['value'];
}
}
?>
The deprecated functions are:
mysql_connect()
mysql_error()
mysql_fetch_array()
mysql_query()
mysql_select_db()
Now, I don't want to use the PDO approach, I want to use mysqli instead. Am I suppose to just replace the mysql_* into mysqli_*? So it will become like these? I don't want to hide/surpress the deprecate warnings.
mysqli_connect()
mysqli_error()
mysqli_fetch_array()
mysqli_query()
mysqli_select_db()
