CakePHP 1.3 and Ubuntu 16.04

I recently switched to a new Ubuntu 16.04 web server (on GCE) from an Ubuntu 14.04 server. I moved across a few Ruby on Rails projects that run on nginx and postgres with few problems. I now have two legacy CakePHP 1.3 apps to move over to the new server, but I am running in to PHP and MYSQL problems.

The old server was Ubuntu 14.04 running PHP 5.5 and MySQL 5.5.

Ubuntu 16 runs PHP 7, but since I read that CakePHP 1.3 won't work on PHP7, I have downgraded to PHP 5.6.

But, I am still getting this error "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_query()"

Is this because I am running mysql-5.7? Or is it still a problem with my PHP 5.6 installation?

I can get phpinfo to run. Here is a screenshot of the top of the result. enter image description here

Somewhere along the way of downgrading PHP from PHP 7 to PHP 5.6 I missed a few php5.6 packages. I did the following:

sudo apt-get install php5.6-mbstring php5.6-mcrypt php5.6-mysql php5.6-xml
sudo service nginx restart

Now the old cakephp1.3 site is working fine on Ubuntu 16.

Also, note that since I am running CakePHP through nginx instead of the standard Apache setup, I needed to customize my nginx configuration specifically for CakePHP.
