Public bug reported:
18.04's postfixadmin package defaults to $database_type="mysql"; in
/etc/postfixadmin/dbconfig.inc.php , but 18.04 ships with PHP 7.2, and
the "mysql" database driver doesn't work with PHP versions above 5.6,
the 7.X compatible database driver is called "mysqli" - since 18.04 use
PHP 7.2, the default should be the php7-compatible
$database_type="mysqli"; , not the php7-incompatible "mysql"
(also about backwards-compatibility: the mysqli driver was introduced in
php 5.0 released at July 2004, which is ancient at this point, but the
much older mysql driver was introduced in PHP 2.0, released in November
1997)
