Textpattern on PHP5.6

gaekwad · 2014-09-07 16:10:13

I’m leaving this here for folks who install Textpattern on PHP5.6 and see deprecation warning notices during installation.

Two notices are displayed when the current SVN (development) version of Textpattern is installed. They are both informational notices and should not be interpreted as errors or similar. The first notice is shown after the database credentials are submitted – i.e., the Checking database connection step:

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /[...]/textpattern/setup/index.php on line 291

The second notice is shown after the database tables are populated – i.e., the That went well! step:

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /[...]/textpattern/setup/txpsql.php on line 31

In both cases the [...] refers to the file system path to the website. I’ve raised issue #426 for completeness. Initial admin-side testing hasn’t yet shown any PHP5.6-specific issues in normal operation, which is very encouraging.

Hi,
One.com is moving to PHP5.6.
Could I upgrade to the current released version, or should I use the SVN version?
Thanks…

I haven’t yet found any snags with PHP 5.6 and Textpattern 4.5.7 in real world use, so I will +1 using 4.5.7 for now.
