PHP 7 Error (mysql_escape_string) in jD 3.2.45 (Not jD Bug)

[Nyx]

Hi,

Sys:
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Apache 2.4.7
MySQL 5.5.52
Jommla 3.6.2
jD 3.2.45

I have a problem with the jD "upload form" in the joomla frontage with PHP 7.0.11 (under php 5.6.26 there is no problem).
Wenn i try a upload (after the file sendling) come the error "Call to undefined function mysql_escape_string()"
But the file is sending (with email) and the download entry is ok.

So under php 7 the function not supported:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-escape-string.php

php.net says to change to the code:
mysqli_escape_string()
OR
PDO::quote()

I don't found the relevant code in jD php files.

May be a the "plupload" is the Problem? Your Version is from the year 2014.
You should integrate the version Plupload 2.1.9.

Any Idea?

Any Idea, Arno? Colin?

Hi Nyx,
sorry for the late reply.

jDownloads use the database functions from Joomla so you can not find a mysql_escape_string function in jDownloads.
Joomla supported PHP 7 so i must check what can be the reason for this error.

The Pluploadcan not be the reason, It is not used in the frontend. Only when you use the special upload form in the jD backend.

Hi,

ok thanks.
Then i will wait for your solution ;-)

[Arno]

I wait still on your PM with the complete error message.... 
I think that this error comes from another extension.

[Nyx]

sorry, i don't see the pm.
Your have a pm ;-)

The problem got solved (see pms).
Not with jdownloads was the error, but another component.

A hint for all other users what exactly was here the problem:
