Abantecart does not install with php >= 5.5.4

[melodie]

Hello,

I just tried to install Abantecart in Archlinux, which is my main Linux distribution/main OS, and the php version we have here seems too new for Abantecart.

I just want to report it, I am not expecting for a fix right on of course.

This afternoon I had php 5.5.4, and later I updated the system and now it's php 5.5.5 which is at work.

I tried Abantecart 1.1.7, and just after as the install failed I tried Abantecart src 1.1.8. In both versions this is the error message from the install process:

Sorry, but error occurred during installation:
OK: {"ret_code":50}
Name    Info
8192::DEPRECATED
   mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /srv/http/abantecart/install/model/install.php on line 25

Regards,
Mélodie
