Okay. There's a lot of work to do. I added some more issues and one of them is pretty serious. I think I need to do some work to address a number of critical problems. Once that is done, then migrate to PHP 7.0. At that point we should have a good baseline to plan out improvements.

I'm like the temp from HR stopping by the tech department to pass along a complaint. Imagine me stammering and trying to get away as quickly as possible. But I too have a friend who wants to join and he got the same errors. I'll let him know you all are working on it, can you make sure I know when it's fixed so he can try again? Thank you!

I didn't have any time this weekend and I don't usually get much time during the week so it will be a bit.

I started a branch for migrating to the pdo mysql driver. There are two reasons for doing this. One is that it will close a security vulnerability and two is that the current mysql driver was removed from PHP 7 so we can't upgrade with the old driver. Then I can work on removing another vulnerability and fixing registration and logout.
When I get further along, I can set up a staging board for doing some testing.
I'd be more specific out the vulnerability, but I don't feel comfortable explaining how to attack the site in public.

migrating to the pdo mysql driver
Is that the mysqli vs. mysql thing?

Sort of. There are three PHP mysql drivers. The old mysqld which was removed from PHP 7.0. Mysqli and the PDO Mysql. The PDO driver is pretty much the standard one nowadays.
