Installing mysqli

Question

I'm trying to connect my form to the database but it keeps giving me this error.

( ! ) Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in C:\wamp\www\Excercise\Real\base.php on line 9
Call Stack
#   Time    Memory  Function    Location
1   0.4390  135464  {main}( )   ...\index.php:0
2   0.5110  137784  include( 'C:\wamp\www\Excercise\Real\base.php' )    ...\index.php:1
3   0.7050  138816  mysql_connect ( )   ...\base.php:9

So what is the question? myqsl is deprecated and removed from php 7. Then use mysqli. http://php.net/manual/it/book.mysqli.php — Isky, Apr 07 '16 at 09:09

It's telling you that your version of mysql is outdated and you need to use mysqli instead.
