See, I'm trying to transfer my site to a different host/server. My DB is rather large - around 70MB in size.

I'm actually trying to move this forum for a buyer, however, he's stating that these errors show up when he tries to import the DB. He's basically saying "MyBB isn't working with PHP 5.3.10, please refund me" and yet he already has my DB.

What is the PHP version where you get this error?

Did you get these errors while trying to import the database to your new host?

Not really MyBB errors more like PHP errors.

PHP 5.3.10

Yes.

It looks like the suhosin extension was build for a different version of PHP.

For the second issue, it looks like you're missing the php-mysqli extension. (Providing you were using MySQLi on the old host).

Is suhosin not supported by php 5.3.10? It works fine on my server, which is php 5.2.13.

Yes, it is. But it looks like PHP was upgraded but the suhosin extension wasn't recompiled after.

What would be my best bet in this scenario? How can I resolve it? I've never had a problem transferring MyBB forums between different servers before.

Build the extension, install it, restart the webserver.
