Description
Hi folks, my archlinux did an update to php7. Since this update, mythweb won't come up, giving me an empty white page.
[Sat Jan 09 20:44:02.316782 2016] [:error] [pid 4002] [client 192.168.0.2:46827] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function query_col() on null in /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/utils.php:59\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/default/header.php(108): setting('recommend_enabl...', NULL)\n#1 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/tmpl/header.php(16): require('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#2 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/_errors/error.php(19): include('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#3 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/errordisplay.php(198): require_once('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#4 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/database.php(15): custom_error('Please install ...')\n#5 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/init.php(43): require_once('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#6 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/mythweb.php(20): require_once('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#7 {main}\n thrown in /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/utils.php on line 59, referer: https://192.168.0.4/mythweb/status
the interesting part seems to be:
Code: Alles auswählen
require_once('/var/lib/mythtv...')\n#4 /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb/includes/database.php(15): custom_error('Please install ...')
In php7, "php-mysql" package and "mysql.so" extension have been removed, so there might be an issue connecting to mysql?

|---|
According to http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.deprecated.php and https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_deprecated_functionality_in_php7 MythWeb needs to be rewritten from ext/mysql to ext/mysqli or ext/pdo_mysql.

This is going to need somebody to write some patches to fix.
Requirements:
- use ext/mysqli or ext/pdo_mysql instead (probably mysqli)
- work with php5 and php7 (mysqli does)

I'm on ArchLinux? with PHP 5.4.3. After https://github.com/MythTV/mythweb/commit/f4240e5e48f25fa40e84faabffa5522b009ab6e0 I'm started to getting in mythweb music module white page. My http server (lighttpd) returns following error in log:
[07-Feb-2016 16:29:25 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /var/http/mythweb/modules/music/mp3act_functions.php on line 53
Reverting https://github.com/MythTV/mythweb/commit/f4240e5e48f25fa40e84faabffa5522b009ab6e0 fixes issue. I checked my PHP config and mysqli plugin is enabled and mysqli.so is present. If there is possibility that root cause is within my httpd/php config - pls advice how to check/verify/correct this.
I would say it is rather because of this:
"This means that custom error handlers may no longer be triggered because exceptions may be thrown instead (causing new fatal errors for uncaught Error exceptions)." From http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php
In my error_log on 0.27-fixes with php-7.0.2:
