Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future

Question

Hello All,

I install this great script on my localhost,

I have on the top this error:

 

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\script\qa-include\qa-db.php on line 

 

How i can fix this ?

 

Thanks.

After a long discussion inside the PHP developers team they decided to mark the old mysql_* functions deprecated in PHP 5.5.  

Why was mysql deprecated in PHP 5.5?
Johannes Schlüter, one of the PHP developers listed missing points like these:

Stored Procedures
Prepared Statements
(SSL-) Encryption
Compression
Full charset support
