i know it is a plug in but I could use help tracking it down..

Thanks:up:

Check for a "global_start" hook.
Looks like the hook you're looking for has a couple hundred lines of code in it.

Thanks, That makes sense Dave.

It has to be one of the following plug ins then. Any thoughts?

Hard to tell, open each of them and see which one contains the function "mysql_connect".

Thanks Dave,

I believe it is Photopost.. Still looking though.

Anything wrong with this?

$dblink = mysql_connect ("$vbhost", "$vbuser", "$vbpass") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
mysql_select_db ("$dbname2")or die("Could not select forum database");

Yes, that's what makes use of the mysql_* functions which is deprecated in your PHP version.
You can fairly easy change it to make use of the mysqli_* functions though: https://www.phpclasses.org/blog/pack...to-MySQLi.html

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now...

Like this..

$connection = mysqli_connect( 'host', 'username', 'password'); or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

ok, I got you. Thanks Dave

##The full replacement would be:

$connection = mysqli_connect( 'host', 'username', 'password'); or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

mysqli_select_db( $link, $database) or die("Could not select forum database");
}

You can change it to
to make it easier.

I assume that it also makes use of other mysql_* functions, I would double check that.
To port a mysql_query to mysqli_query, you need to specify the connection variable as the first argument and the second argument will be the actual query.

Thanks!

The only other ones are $vbhost, $vbuser, $vbpass, $dbname and they should not hard to convert. :)

A product or plugin should never be using native MySQL or MySQLi functions to connect to the database (or for subsequent commands), it should be using the vbulletin database object.
