I updated Word and it said I needed a newer version of PHP. So, I updated php and get the following error:

PHP Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in...

How do I go about fixing this?

Hi, check this thread.
https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=106924
The issue is likely you need to make changes in the db_conn_open.php file.

That's not quite the same scenario. I am using 5.2.

So I understand correctly, you "updated" to php 5.2?
If so, have you tried 7.0+?

Yes, and when I do, it says I need to connect to the database

Ok, I would go to the link I originally posted, make the changes to the database connection, and try that with the PHP 7.0+
If you still have trouble, perhaps post up the contents of your db_conn_open.php file (with the username/password removed).

Hi Mark

I think David is perfectly correct there - you need to check and change the syntax in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php and maybe in vsadmin/includes.php as per the examples here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=106924

Okay, this is what mine looks like:

<?php

// You host should be able to provide you with these settings if you do not know them already

$db_username = "*************"; // Your database login username
$db_password = "*************"; // Your database login password
$db_name = "sumday10_ecomm"; // The name of the database you wish to use
$db_host = "localhost"; // The address of the database. Often this is localhost, but may be for example db.yoursite.com

//////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Please do not edit anything below this line. //
//////////////////////////////////////////////////

$dbh=mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password) or die ('You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php.</td></tr></table></body></html>');
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ('You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php.</td></tr></table></body></html>');
if(mysqli_connect_error()){
ob_clean();
print '<html><head><title>Database connect error</title></head><body><div style="margin:20px;clear:both">Database Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') ' . mysqli_connect_error() . '</div>';
print('<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php</div>');
print '<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">For help setting your database connection please see...<br />';
print '<a href="http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/instructions.asp#dbconn" target="_blank">http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/instructions.asp#dbconn</a></div>';
print '<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">We also have a support forum here...<br />';
print '<a href="http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/" target="_blank">http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/</a></div>';
die('</body></html>');
}
?>

I changed everything below that line that said do not edit anything below this line and it worked. Amazing what happens when you ignore messages like that. :-)
