Database connection error after updating to PHP7

[kanbam]

cPanelJacob announced (PHP7 support) PHP7 was available to install with easyapache 4.

I installed the base packages, enabled the option in the easyapache 4 provision profile and rebuit. Then in "MultiPHP Manager" select the domain to use PHP7.

The webpage gives this error when using PHP7:
"Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available.Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available."

The webpage works correctly in PHP 5.6.

I think I am missing some configuration setting in the PHP7 php.ini

Hi,

Check out that blog post a little bit towards the bottom, specifically the deprecation section. PHP 7 no longer supports the MySQL extension, and by your error, your script will not work on PHP 7 because it's using a removed extension. You'll either need to upgrade your script, wait for the developers to support PHP 7, or this script might be stuck with using PHP 5.

yes , you should use "mysqli" instead of mysql
