How can i Solve this error : Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()

Question

I am using PHP 8.0 Version but recently i get this error : Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()

is there any solution for this ?

Two things: firstly, `mysql_*()` does not exist in PHP8: use PDO or `mysqli_*()` instead. Secondly, don't escape your data: use prepared statements instead. — Tangentially Perpendicular, Apr 20 '21 at 21:23

mysql_real_escape_string was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.5.0 and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.¹

PHP recommends using MySQLi or PDO instead.
