 +====== Migrating from mysql.inc to mysqli.inc ======
 +
 +From version 5.5 of PHP, the mysql_ functions have been deprecated. http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.deprecated.php
 +
 +In future versions these functions will be removed and older versions of phpList will stop working.
 +
 +To avoid this from happening, you will need to change your config file and find the line:
 +
 +<code>
 +$database_module = "mysql.inc";
 +</code>
 +
 +and change it to 
 +
 +<code>
 +$database_module = "mysqli.inc";
 +</code>
 +
 +The change is very small, so if you do not see it, it is a lower-case letter i before the full stop.
 +
 +
 +If you do not have this line in your config file, then you do not need to do anything, and you can upgrade to the latest version of phpList.
 +
 +This change applies to phpList version 3.0.7 and up. If you run a version prior to 3.0.7 you will need to upgrade to the latest version of phpList first.
