This extension provides the mysql family of functions that were provided with PHP 3 to 5. These functions have been superseded by MySQLi and PDO_MySQL, which continue to be bundled with PHP 7 and newer.
Although it should be possible to use this extension with PHP 7 or 8, you are strongly encouraged to port your code to use either MySQLi or PDO_MySQL, as this extension is not maintained and is available for historical reasons only.
Package built for PHP 8.4 as Software Collection (php84 by remi).
