That is the second duplicate - `mysql_` has been removed from PHP. — Nigel Ren, Dec 23 '19 at 14:53
You have defined different variable and put another variable... I would like to recommend using ```mysqli``` instead — Biplove Lamichhane, Dec 23 '19 at 14:56
If you're writing new code, **_please_, for the love of all you hold dear, don't use the `mysql_*` functions!** They are old and broken, were deprecated in PHP 5.5, and completely removed in PHP 7.0 (which is so old it [no longer even receives active support](http://php.net/supported-versions.php)). Use [`PDO`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php) or [`mysqli_*`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php) with _prepared statements_ and _parameter binding_ instead. See http://stackoverflow.com/q/12859942/354577 for details. It's _2019_. This isn't funny anymore. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Dec 23 '19 at 16:28

Check it:

<?php

    include('config.php');
    include('functions.php');

    // Connect to database
    $dbConnection = mysql_pconnect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS);

    if (! $dbConnection) {
        die(mysql_error());
    }

    $db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $dbConnection);

    if (!$db_selected) {
        die ('Can\t use: ' . mysql_error());
    }

?>

_**Nobody** should be using `mysql_` functions for **any** reason in 2019._ Please don't encourage their use. It's irresponsible and dangerous, not to mention _frustrating for new users_ since those functions are long gone in recent versions of PHP. – ChrisGPT was on strike Dec 23 '19 at 16:30

@MuhammadMuneebAhmad, _no_. We're not going to download random code off the internet. Your question must be self-contained. See [ask]. – ChrisGPT was on strike Dec 23 '19 at 16:30

@MuhammadMuneebAhmad, and "not work" isn't helpful. _Specifically_, what does that _mean_? What error messages are you seeing? What's the traceback? – ChrisGPT was on strike Dec 23 '19 at 16:31

so how can i solve that problem ..? – Muhammad Muneeb Ahmad Dec 23 '19 at 16:32
