Receiving warning in PHP 5.5 "Deprecated: mysql_connect():"

[sitestorepro]

Update 4/30/2016: The new version of the cart has been released that is 100% mysqli and will not receive any deprecation warning in PHP 5.5x and it also works with PHP 7+. More information is available at : https://www.sitestorepro.com/37th-release-posted/

If you are receiving a deprecated function PHP error (warning) when running the cart in PHP 5.5, you can disable the warning message by adding a line to your database connection file.

The new API based version of the cart uses mysqli in all front-end functions. However, the current admin area still uses the mysql_connect driver while we certify the new mysqli based admin area for public release.

In the interim, you can simply suppress the deprecated mysql_connect warning message by adding the following line to your /Connections/SiteStoreProDB.php when developing your site.

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

(The store/website will operate fine with the warning message disabled.)

Example:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
$hostname_SiteStoreProDB = “localhost”;
$database_SiteStoreProDB = “database”;
$username_SiteStoreProDB = “root”;
$password_SiteStoreProDB = “password”;
$SiteStoreProDB = mysql_connect($hostname_SiteStoreProDB, $username_SiteStoreProDB, $password_SiteStoreProDB) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
# Set the install type for this cart
define(‘SSPRO_INSTALL_TYPE’, 2); // (1 = Stand-alone, 2 = WordPress)

Site Store Pro should not return any other PHP errors or warnings (except the above noted deprecated function error). However, you may have other applications running on your server/hosting account that may return errors .Therefore, for production environments (live stores),  PHP errors display should be turned off for security purposes: You can disable all errors via changing the ‘display_errors’ setting in your php.ini file or by adding the following to the top of your connection file :

error_reporting(0);
ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);
