Running old app for PHP 7 (v9)

i wrote an app for a place i use to work at… using phpmaker v9 yep… that used yui back theni was hosting on wamp but they are shutting down that server.

I tried to move over to a linux box, but its running php7 and I can’t down grade to php5the app is dying at fatal error can’t find mysql() - I installed php7_mysql from the LEAP 15.1 repository but no goany suggestions to keep this dinosaur running. worse case we can spin up a windows 10 vm and install wamp again

The mysql extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0: https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php.
