Upgrade to Ubuntu16.04 LTS from 14.04 LTS killed my php

Ian thanks very much for your prompt response. I already have been through
the MySQL problems and I'll try your fix on php on Monday.  Unfortunately I
had unexpected guests to deal with today hence I only 'just' saw your
message.

Will let you know how I got on.
