Call to undefined function mysql_connect

Question

I just installed PHP and Apache on my home PC. When I try to call function mysql_connect I get:

fatal error: call to undefined function mysql_co         


        

Answer 1

Since mysql_connect This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. by default xampp does not load it automatically

in your php.ini file you should uncomment

;; extension=php_mysql.dll

to

extension=php_mysql.dll

Then restart your apache you should be fine
