Thank you for filing this bug report.

phpbb3 has been deleted from Debian (Bug # 816655) and also from Ubuntu
in Y and on. However, it seems upstream phpbb3 has updated their base to
be compliant with PHP7 (e.g.
https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-13657?jql=text%20~%20%22php7%22).
In this case, given the abandonment in Debian, it might be most
appropriate to update the major version of phpbb3 to a level supporting
PHP7. Let me see if uscan/uupdate work on the source package and I will
try to provide a build in a PPA to test.

Thanks,
Nish

Title:
  PHP version conflict for PHPBB3 on Xenial

Status in phpbb3 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in phpbb3 source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  
  PHPBB3 requires a version of PHP 5.3.3+ and PHP < 7.0

  Xenial's default version of PHP is 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

  While the install appears to work, when trying to access the forum via
  web browser it gives this error instead:

  SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
  mysql_connect function does not exist, is mysql extension installed? []

  
  The PHPBB3 installation package should detect and alert the user that there is a dependency error with PHP 7.0+ and stop the installation at that point.

  
  ( NOTE: Following the steps to regress to PHP 5.6 allowed this test setup to work.
