Hi, thank you all for your concern.
I was using XAMPP version 7, and in it, I tried adding the mysql.dll ext in php.ini file
but the issue was still there. I understand that mysql() is now being used as mysqli(), but the instructor was pushing me to use the same mysql() and not mysqli(), so the then, I searched for the old version of XAMPP, version 3.2, installed it, and the problem solved. He (my instructor) told me that keep using mysql() commmand, it will not give any problem on server.
So, now, I'm using XAMPP 3.2, and its working with mysql_connect() and all mysql() functions... tell me if I could use it in future to maintain websites on server. and also, if it will give any error, then kindly suggest me the video tutorials where I learn using mysqli() and PDO, thank you in adavance...
