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 )

Memory limit: 256M
Maximum execution time: 30 seconds
PHP version : 5.4.24
MySQL version : 5.1.63

The 30 sec execution time may seem short, but I think it can be done. All files + DB is about 95MB.

Just wanted to provide you as much info as possible about the problem. I think the concept is great.

i installed shoutbox on a page (by using template), the public window shows the following message :

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in …/public_html/vihegay/wp-content/plugins/pierres-wordspew/usersonline.php on line 72

Can someone tell me what i must do ? Not so experienced in php, please tell me clearly if you have an idea…

Thanks a lot !

I did notice these two warnings the last couple of days:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home-directory/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.functions.php on line 1996

Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home-directory/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.functions.php on line 2005

It started happening two days ago, and the only change on my site and web server I know of is that my host did some upgrade to the web server so MySQL might have been upgraded (Current version: 5.1.63-cll). In fact the warnings started showing up after the server upgrade was done.

I just wanted to let you know about the warnings, and to see if they are anything I should be concerned of.

Otherwise, thank you again for the great plugin!

For example:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)){
    // Do code to process db results here.
}

How would I write this using the $wpdb class?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to use mysql_fetch_array to generate submenu pages based on data in the database.

Each site has it’s own unique table (wp_1_ksettings, wp_2_kpsettings, wp_3_kpsettings) with unique data in it. The columns will contain the strings needed for the options, identifier, and etc used in this line:

add_submenu_page(__FILE__, $row['option_name'], $row['option_name'], $row['capability'], $row['identifier'], $row['identifier']);

It’s kinda complex and I’m sure there’s another way to do this but I just can’t think of it. If anyone out there has any ideas or other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

//Add a menu to the top level
add_action('admin_menu', 'Add_kp_plugin');

//Add a main menu for the plugin
function Add_kp_plugin() {
   if (function_exists('add_menu_page')){
		add_menu_page('KP Settings', 'KP Settings', 2, __FILE__, 'startup');
		global $wpdb;
		$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_" $wpdb->$siteid . "_kpsettings");
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
		{
			add_submenu_page(__FILE__, $row['option_name'], $row['option_name'], $row['capability'], $row['identifier'], $row['identifier']);
		}
	}
}
