changing php versions from 5.5 to 5.4 not working?

[winterfat.tran65]

I'm using my site to show the difference between MYSQL and PDO for a school project and I am aware that MYSQL was deprecated in PHP 5.5x but when I try to change my PHP version to 5.4 and press save, it goes to 5.5? Anyone know how to fix this if the problem is on x10hosting or me? Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that. I can't find a hosting account linked to your forum account "winterfat.tran65". If you're still looking to switch to PHP 5.4, please could you link your accounts? You can do this by going to "Support" in the top-right.

However, if you're only switching for the mysql_ extension, PHP 5.5 still permits the mysql_ extension (even though it is deprecated), so you shouldn't have any problems with this. When an extension is deprecated, it will still work, but a warning will be shown saying it will be removed in a later release (and it was removed in PHP 7). We hide this warning by default for you (but it is possible to reveal the warning again by changing some PHP settings on your account). Therefore, the mysql_ extension should work as normal on both PHP 5.5 and 5.4.

Thank you,
