如何在xampp上安装mysql到php5？

Question

I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect();

After searching online I learnt that mysql is not included in this new version.

I am using xampp with PHP versions: 5.5.33 on windows server 2012 R2. I used phpinfo() function to search for MySQL but I can only find MySQLi, MySQL and and PDO but nothing for MySQL.

I need help to activate MySQL.

Much appreciated!

Answer 1

It's because mysql is already deprecated in PHP v5.5.x

Use mysqli instead.
