Dear colleagues,
I have to make an important decision and before that I would ask you for an
advice. I want to integrate PmWiki with MariaDB using PHP7. How?
The story:
I use PmWiki for many, many years. Last summer my main server hardware
have to be retired after more than 10 years of continuous work under
Debian (last version: Wheezy).
An important part of my wiki (http://www.dybczynski.pl/Piotr and other,
non public) is a set of pages using database (currently Maria DB) as the
source of information.
I had to move my PmWiki server to a temporary place and it appeared, that
database cookbooks (Update Form and SelectQuerry) do not work under PHP7.
I had to switch them off but such a situation cannot last any longer.
In a few days I will receive a new hardware for my main server. I will
install Debian Stretch on it.
The only option I know about is to install old PHP5 on this new server. I
do not like such solutions.
My question is: could you direct me to some other way of integrating
database with PmWiki?
I need to display subsets of data basing on user selection. It would be
great to have also the possibility to modify database records by a
wiki user (this option would not be publicly available of course).
I am an experienced C programmer but have a very limited knowledge on PHP.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Piotr
