"8: mail(): Hooking into mysql_connect" error

[a10]

The last few days am seeing these errors, nothing done on the forum.
2.0.19 (php 8.0.30, ftm supported by host). Something from server or host?
Seemingly at each mail send. Mail is sent and arrives at recipients.

mysql_connect() function has been removed in PHP 7.0.0. Are you sure that you are using php 8?

^^^ Mystery... 8.0.30 in both phpinfo & smf, has not changed for a very long time.

Mail PHP default, has worked wo errors\problems 'since the beginning of times'.

Can't see any forum problems, just those mail-triggered log entries appearing out of thin air. Nothing touched regarding forum setup\files.

What mods do you hae installed?

I'd also look in phpinfo to confirm mysqli is available.

2.0 will try to run the very old mysql php adapter if the mysqli adapter is unavailable.

Listed in my signature

I'd also look in phpinfo to confirm mysqli is available.

There's a mysqli dept. in phpinfo.
Examples:
Client API library version mysqlnd 8.0.30 mysqlnd 8.0.30
mysqli.allow_local_infile Off Off
mysqli.allow_persistent   On On
mysqli.default_host no value no value
mysqli.default_port 3306 3306
etc

And just as it appeared, the mail-triggered mysql_connect thing suddenly vanished from error log !?
Email fine, like before, under and after those error entries.

ftm marking solved, the malevolent ghost must have left the server (after the host performed a special php excorsism).
