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).
