mysql_connect() depreciated

[cd-champion-dev]

mysql_connect() and other mysql_ functions are deprecated. Please update to mysqli or pdo. mysql_connect() has been fully removed from php7 (which is the server I use).

I'm in favor of using PDO—it is well-supported and advocated by modern PHP practices.

Looks like there's only two lines where mysql_connect() is used:

• servatriceadminwebui/html/.config_commonfunctions

  Line 408 in 43bea71

  $connection = mysql_connect(trim($dbserver),trim($dbuser),trim($dbpass), true) or die(mysql_error());

• servatriceadminwebui/html/.config_commonfunctions

  Line 410 in 43bea71

  $connection = mysql_connect(trim($dbserver),trim($dbuser),trim($dbpass)) or die(mysql_error());

There's other lines (like L413) where other mysql commands are used, so that's not the only place where this code needs to change.

All said, it looks pretty straightforward to change: https://www.sitepoint.com/migrate-from-the-mysql-extension-to-pdo/
