Requires deprecated “mysql” extension (now removed from PHP 7)

    Hello,

    When trying to restore I experience the following fatal error:

    PHP fatal error (Error) har oppst?tt: Call to undefined function mysql_query()

    mysql_query() is a function from the deprecated and now removed PHP extension “mysql” which has been replaced by “mysqli” and “PDO” for many, many, years by now. The “mysql” PHP extension has been deprecated for at least 10 years!

    With current technical standards, with PHP 7 and now PHP 8 out and about, it’s shocking that you require this old and removed-for-a-good-reason extension.

    Hi,

    To be clear – UpdraftPlus did not require this extension (which of course would be impossible since as you say it doesn’t even exist in current PHP versions); this was a bug in WordPress 6.4 which was quickly fixed in WordPress 6.4.1 (we also released a new version of UpdraftPlus the day before for people on WP 6.4). Specifically, the fourth of the regressions listed in the WP 6.4.1 release announcement: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/wordpress-version/version-6-4-1/
