HFigarella on "RootsPersona 3.3.3 works with PHP 7"

Hi Ed,

RootsPersona 3.3.3 works fine with:

• PHP 7
• WordPress 4.5-alpha (nightly build)

as long as the following changes are made because the mysql extension was eliminated on PHP 7:

The mysql statements

$new_link = true;
$conn = mysql_connect( $credentials->hostname, $credentials->dbuser, $credentials->dbpassword, $new_link );
if ( ! $conn ) {
	throw new Exception( 'could not connect to database' );
}
mysql_select_db( $credentials->dbname );
mysql_set_charset( 'utf8', $conn );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

try {
	$dsn = 'mysql:host=' . $credentials->hostname . ';dbname=' . $credentials->dbname . ';charset=utf8';
	$conn = new PDO($dsn, $credentials->dbuser, $credentials->dbpassword);
	$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
	} catch(PDOException $e) {
		echo 'ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage();
	}

return $conn;

The mysql statements

return mysql_query( $sql, $this->connection );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

$stmt = $this->connection->prepare( $sql );
$stmt->execute();
return $stmt->fetchAll();

The mysql statements

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) {
	$tab[$i++] = $row;
}
mysql_free_result( $result );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

foreach($result as $row) {
	$tab[$i++] = $row;
}

The mysql statements

mysql_close( $connection );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

$connection = null;

The mysql statements

return mysql_affected_rows( $connection );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

return $result->rowCount();

The mysql statements

return mysql_insert_id();

becomes the PDO equivalent:

return $this->connection->lastInsertId();

The mysql statements

$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

if ( $result[0] ) return $result[0][0];

The mysql statements

$this->connection->execute_query( 'BEGIN' );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

$this->connection->beginTransaction();

The mysql statements

$this->connection->execute_query( 'COMMIT' );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

$this->connection->commit();

The mysql statements

$this->connection->execute_query( 'ROLLBACK' );

becomes the PDO equivalent:

$this->connection->rollBack();

The mysql statements

$value = mysql_escape_string( $value );

is included in the PDO statement prepare( $sql )
