Deprecated: mysql_connect()
deprecated, function, mysql, php
Solution
There are a few solutions to your problem.
The way with MySQLi would be like this:
<?php
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');
To run database queries is also simple and nearly identical with the old way:
<?php
// Old way
mysql_query('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `table`', $connection);
// New way
mysqli_query($connection, 'CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `table`');
Turn off all deprecated warnings including them from mysql_*:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
The Exact file and line location which needs to be replaced is "/System/Startup.php > line: 2 " error_reporting(E_All); replace with error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
Problem
I am getting this warning, but the program still runs correctly. The MySQL code is showing me a message in PHP: Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\task\media\new\connect.inc.php on line 2 My `connect.inc.php` page is ``` <?php $connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root',''); mysql_select_db('dbname'); ?> ``` What does this mean and how can I eliminate the message?
