Hi, I am trying to update php 5 older sites with new connections to   php 8 mysql versions for my client
While i can connect using Navicat and can see all the tables, when I try to update and connect using DMXZone Server Connect or  Webassist DataBridge I am getting an error:

Error using this Database Connection!
Server Response : SQLSTATE(HY000) [2054] Server sent charset unknown to
the client. Please, report to the developers

 

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

 

running php info I found that the site is still operating on php 5.4.x and mysql 5.0.11

You will need to update the server, both local and remote, to the new versions.

 

Another solution is to start using Wappler. Wappler has its own PHP/MySQL built in server for local development so that there is no need to instal an Apache server locally.

 

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

As this is related to third party extensions have you reached out to those vendors with the error to see what they are able to offer?

yes    I am awaiting responses.   Webassist believes that DW and current connections are not working with older versions of PHP and MySQL.
