The [mysql_ functions have been removed from PHP](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12859942/why-shouldnt-i-use-mysql-functions-in-php) — Machavity, May 08 '16 at 17:09

Try:

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Create and call the page with above code and search for mysql. If not found, Do the following things.

Open your php.ini and

Changed from

;extension=php_mysql.so

into

extension=php_mysql.so

NOTE: mysql extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used.
