elgg 1.8 and PHP 7
By rjcalifornia
Is there a way to use elgg 1.8.x or elgg 1.9.x with PHP 7. I was trying it out, and I was getting a "Missing MySQL extension" error, which has been deprecated in PHP 7

Not really. Elgg 1.8x, elgg 1.9x and even some versions of 2.x are not compatible with PHP 7 because of that "missing mysql extension" error.
Elgg 2.3 is the first Elgg version compatible with PHP 7. Elgg 2.3 is also the only Elgg version compatible both with PHP 5 and 7. Everything before Elgg 2.3 works only with PHP 5 and Elgg 3 only works with PHP 7.
Talk about bad luck. Anyways thanks for clarifying this.
