 * I was just reviewing the PHP Compatibility Checker report for my site, and it
   warns of an issue with Age Gate. It says that in `age-gate/vendor/wixel/gump/
   examples/escaping_mysql_strings.php` it found:
 * `38 | ERROR | Extension 'mysql_' is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since
   PHP 7.0; Use mysqli instead`
 * Is this something I should be concerned about? My server is running PHP 7.4 now.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@ate-up-with-motor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ate-up-with-motor/),
 * No, it’s an example file in one of the vendor packages age gate uses.
 * That example has been removed in an updated package which will ship in the next
   _major (3.0.0)_ Age Gate release. Can’t update it at the moment as we extend 
   one of it’s classes and that extension isn’t compatible with the current version.
 * Either way, the file is never called in code so shouldn’t be of any concern.
 * Thanks
    Phil
