php error:Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

Question

Okay I know this question has been asked multiple times but sadly, I was still unable to fix the problem.

When trying to run this simple script:

<?php

   mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

?>

I get the error mentioned in the title.
Info:
-I am using XAMPP
-There is a folder named mysql in my XAMPP folder
-I put this line on my php.ini: extension=php_mysql.dll and there already was: extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
-I am using Widnows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

What version of PHP are you using? The mysql API is gone as of PHP 7. — Darwin von Corax

to elaborate a little: The extension providing the mysql_* functions has been removed from php7. see docs.php.net/mysqlinfo.api.choosing — VolkerK

If you are using php7, mysql_* functions are removed as they are deprecated use mysqli_* instead.

Here is a link you can use http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php
