As other answers suggest    Some guy  for whatever reason  decided that your old code should not work when you upgrade your PHP  because he knows better than you and don t care about what your code does or how simple it is for you to upgrade   Well  if you can t upgrade your project overnight you can     downgrade your version of PHP to whatever version that worked   or        use a shim  kind of polyfill  such as https   github com dshafik php7-mysql-shim or https   github com dotpointer mysql-shim  and then find a place for  include once  choice shim php    somewhere in your code   That will keep your old PHP code up and running until you are in a mood to update

It is recommended to use either the MySQLi or PDO extensions  It is not recommended to use the old mysql extension for new development  as it was deprecated in PHP 5 5 0 and was removed in PHP 7    PHP offers three different APIs to connect to MySQL  Below we show the APIs provided by the mysql  mysqli  and PDO extensions  Each code snippet creates a connection to a MySQL server running on  example com  using the username  username  and the password  password   And a query is run to greet the user   Example  1 Comparing the three MySQL APIs   lt  php    mysqli  mysqli   new mysqli  example com    username    password    database     result    mysqli- gt query  SELECT  Hello  dear MySQL user   AS  message FROM DUAL     row    result- gt fetch assoc    echo htmlentities  row   message         PDO  pdo   new PDO  mysql host example com dbname database    username    password     statement    pdo- gt query  SELECT  Hello  dear MySQL user   AS  message FROM DUAL     row    statement- gt fetch PDO  FETCH ASSOC   echo htmlentities  row   message         mysql  c   mysql connect  example com    username    password    mysql select db  database     result   mysql query  SELECT  Hello  dear MySQL user   AS  message FROM DUAL     row   mysql fetch assoc  result   echo htmlentities  row   message       gt    I suggest you try out both MySQLi and PDO and find out what API design you prefer   Read Choosing an API and Why shouldn t I use mysql   functions in PHP
