Ch0cu3r Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 That code you posted is connecting to mysql just fine. The error is warning you the the mysql extension (or in other words the mysql_*() functions) are deprecated meaning they are no longer supported and are being removed (on release of PHP7) To use mysql with PHP you need to use either MySQL Improved (mysqli) or PDO (pdo_mysql extension). 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/298402-cannot-connect-mysql-in-v55-php/#findComment-1522130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
