Description

I had a person come into MediaWiki-General and say they got this warning:

Deprecated: mysql_query(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /var/www/mediawiki-1.22.7/extensions/mat_ext/exportcsv.php on line 35

Turns out, the mysql extension for php is in fact being deprecated.

http://php.net/manual/en/changelog.mysql.php

It may be time to determine whether we want to use PDO or mysqli instead, or if we want to support both, or what.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

If I interpret bug 45288 correctly, MySQLi is favored?

/var/www/mediawiki-1.22.7/extensions/mat_ext/exportcsv.php

Where can somebody find that in Git?!
At least the MW 1.22.9 tarball has no "mat_ext" under "/extensions".

Looks so. (Action in core is most we can do, realistically?)
