    Hi,

    the new update of BPS says:

    PHP 5.5.x Deprecated function replacement file options.php: mysql_get_client_info replaced with mysqli_get_client_info
    PHP 5.5.x Deprecated function replacements file bpsunlock.php: New code using MySQLi instead of MySQL

    I’m still on MySQL Database Version: 5.5.33-log and MySQL Client Version: 5.5.33
    PHP Version: 5.2.17

    is it ok to update BPS?

    thanks !

    Yep, it is fine to upgrade BPS. I should have been a little more specific about what MySQLi vs MySQL means exactly, but I kept it short so not to clutter up the Upgrade Notice.

    MySQLi is better for security and it has the benefit of having all sorts of pre-built object oriented things. MySQLi has been available since PHP5.x so all hosts will have this. MySQLi class/functions connect to MySQL Databases the same as the older php mysql_xxx functions do.
