MariaDB connections fail with PHP versions prior to 7.3

Written by: on 09 November 2020 09:16 AM 09 November 2020 09:16 AM

There was a bug introduced in MariaDB 10.2.35 and 10.3.26 which breaks connectivity from PHP versions prior to 7.3.

Any sites running PHP 7.0-7.2 would receive the error:

Critical Error Could not connect to the database.

The resolve this upgrade MariaDB to the latest version, or switch to PHP 7.3 or 7.4.

For details on this bug please see: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24121
