A fork of the MySQL Converter Tool

Introduction

This tool converts the deprecated (and removed as of PHP 7) ext/mysql extension into code using the newer (and fully supported) ext/mysqli extension.

This tool is not perfect, but it will help you with the conversion.

Usage

There are two interfaces: GUI and CLI. Example usages:

Using PHP's built-in web server

$ wget https://github.com/philip/MySQLConverterTool/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
$ cd MySQLConverterTool-master/GUI
$ php -S localhost:8000

Then, go to http://localhost:8000. From there you can choose to convert a snippet (copy-n-paste), a single file, or a directory. You can choose to convert the files themselves (assuming the web server has rights), make backups, or simply output the code to your browser.

Use CLI

Download as you did above, and here is an example to convert a file named /tmp/my.php

$ cd MySQLConverterTool-master
$ php cli.php -f /tmp/my.php

Execute php cli.php -h to see the available options.

Important Warning

That absolutely NO security checks are performed by the tool which prevent users from trying to read and convert files (e.g. /etc/passwd). Make sure to add security measures, if needed.
