i m installing PHP script and getting a certain error. Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/bookaroc/public_html/settings/config.php on line 113 can any one let me know what is wrong with it? regards
Exactly what it says, it's an outdated script that needs updating to use PDO or mysqli. That is the only correct way to get rid of the error.
Hello, The error says that the script uses a old outdated PHP function. MySQL is not used any more propably you can try using MySQLi for resolution, However, if the application is having that you will need to make a hell lot of changes to make it work. Better make PHP ignore the Depreciated fuinctions for now and the site will work in php.ini look for error_reporting and add the below. error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE << Exisiting add at the end ( & ~E_DEPRECATED) Hope that will help.
