I have a server with php 5.6 in apache. Is it better to update to php 7?

I want to form a community about New Age music in Xenforo.

For XenForo Media Gallery is php 7 also preferable or not?

Thank you.

Yes.

 

[VinylDisk]

I supposed, thank you very much.

The problem is that I'm used to making backup copies of the database with MySQLDumper that is not compatible with php 7.

https://github.com/DSB/MySQLDumper you could try this

It is not well designed for complex databases with BLOD fields such as XenForo.

This software gives me problems.

Well, if you need a gui, why not install an actual gui like navicat or sth?

 

[andybond]

I am assuming you know how to create a cron job and can use phpmyadmin to autonomously backup all ( or individual ) databases?

 

[VinylDisk]

I did not know Navicat, I will inform you on its official website.

Thank you.

Yes of course, but I do not always have access to the linux console.

Thank you.

Edit: phpmyadmin is not very useful for large database backups

Then just use command line :

mysqldump database_name > database_name.sql
