A PHP Error was encountered

[pmzhou]

I get the following error on ubuntu 16 with php7(I got the same error on xampp and GCP as well). Please help.
Severity: Notice
Message: Only variable references should be returned by reference
Filename: core/Common.php
Line Number: 257

Also from my error logs:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in /var/$

Can you describe the steps to reproduce this issue please?

[pmzhou]

I finally got it up and running. It happens if you use php7 and also have to correct line 257 in system/core/Common.php. I still have a few errors that come up now and then. Is there any development documentation that i can use? Regards

Great!

The last time I deployed it I used php5. You can see the steps that I recorded here:

Unfortunately, there is no development documentation, but if you are interested in beginning some, I would be happy to help where I can.
