Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect()

Question

I got these error in Codeigniter.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in

C:\\xampp1\\

Answer 1

Because you're using Codeigniter, you're most likely using their Database Class and drivers so you're not using PHP's MySQL functions directly.

Therefore, all you need to do is change

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

to

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';

Answer 2

In PHP5.6 or higher versions, mysql_ functions are deprecated and totally removed. Try using mysqli_ functions.
