I am trying to connect database using PHP and Apache2 server but it could not connect. I am providing my code below.

<?php
session_start();

$_SESSION['start'] = time();
$_SESSION['show_session_alert'] = 1;

$VIEW_ADMIN = 1;
$VIEW_OWNER = 2;

$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "abcdefg");
mysql_select_db('easyride', $con);

$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "abcdefg", "easyride");
?>

I am trying to connect to MySQL database but it could not connected. I am giving below the phpMyAdmin configuration file.

/etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php:

$dbuser='phpmyadmin';
$dbpass='abcdefg';
$basepath='';
$dbname='phpmyadmin';
$dbserver='';
$dbport='';
$dbtype='mysql';

Here I am unable to connect getting the error localhost is currently unable to handle this request: HTTP ERROR 500. I need to connect to my MySQL database.

It is likely that you are using some version of php7, in this case the functions mysql_connect and mysql_select_db no longer exists in php7 so they will not work
