mysqli functions detected as mysql functions and reported as errors
A file with the following content:
<?php
$x = mysqli_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword,$dbname);
$y = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword,$dbname);
Returns the following errors:
FOUND 2 ERROR(S) AFFECTING 2 LINE(S)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 | ERROR | Extension 'mysql' is removed since PHP 5.0 - use mysqli instead.
3 | ERROR | Extension 'mysql' is removed since PHP 5.0 - use mysqli instead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I change line 186 of Sniffs/PHP/RemovedExtensionsSniff.php from:
To:
It correctly returns:
FOUND 1 ERROR(S) AFFECTING 1 LINE(S)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 | ERROR | Extension 'mysql_' is removed since PHP 5.0 - use mysqli instead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure if this is the best way to fix this issue; but it appears to solve my issue.
