[mythtv-users] Mythweb PHP issue after upgrade from Ubuntu 16, 04 to 18.04

[Bob Sully]

Hi all -

Upgraded Myth from 0.28 to 0.29 on Ubuntu 16.04 last week.  No problems, 
completely painless.

Upgraded the OS to 18.04 tonight.  Mostly painless (a lot better than 
the last one, from 14.04 to 16.04!)

However, I'm running into issues with Mythweb and PHP, apparently since 
18.04 is using 7.2.  I have already enabled the 7.2 modules in apache2.  
I also copied the mysqli.ini file from /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/ to 
/etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/ and restarted apache2.


I'm getting this error in Mythweb:

Fatal Error
!!NoTrans: You are missing a php extension for mysql interaction. Please 
install php-mysqli or similar!!

     datetime:  2018-10-01 22:40:43 (PDT)
     errornum:  256[rcs at vader: ~]$ sudo apt install php-mysqli

However:
$ sudo apt install php-mysqli

Note, selecting 'php7.2-mysql' instead of 'php-mysqli'
php7.2-mysql is already the newest version (7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).

What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
