Newbie on this forum, so apologies if I am asking about a previously discussed topic.
Just couple of days ago, I downloaded Dolphin Pro (7.3.3) and proceeded to install on my Ubuntu-based Linux PC (not a server) that has PHP 7.0.8 on it. Not far into the process, with help from other posts on this topic, I realized that that many of the PHP scripts that came with the Dolphin Pro 7.3.3 bundle seems to be expecting some version of PHP 5 and was actually incompatible with PHP 7 in at least one important area. That is, the latest MySQL extension for PHP 7 is called mysqli (not mysql) and some of the call signatures are different. I proceeded to edit the install.php script to work with PHP 7 and the associated mysqli extension only to find that many other PHP scripts will also need to be edited in a similar manner. I suppose I could downgrade my PHP installation, but I wonder if there is a better solution.
System requirements mention that PHP 5.2 or 5.3 are needed for Dolphin 7, but does not say anything about not being compatible with later versions of PHP (so I assumed). Is there something I missed? Do others have any experience/solutions that could help?
