Included mysql2i.class.php not working

I am using PHP 5.6.30. Placed include_once('mysql2i.class.php'); at the top of the file, also tried require_once('mysql2i.class.php'); at the top of the file and put required_once('mysql2i.func.php'); at the bottom of mysql2i.class.php.

I still get error messages:

Pacific/Honolulu] PHP Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead... in the log although no error displays on screen when running the code.

The code still doesn't work. The first use is to authenticate a user from a database but it just re displays the login screen with blank fields.

I test the path by using /mysql2i.class.php and got a file not found error. What else can I try?

The mysql extension did not go away until PHP 7.x

This package does not do anything except sit and wait for the mysql extension to go away, when it does, it takes over by replacing the statements with functions that use mysqli to perform the database operations.

It sounds like you need to debug your script by making sure you are connecting and selecting the correct database, and then testing the result after the form is submitted.

Thanks for looking at this. From your description, it appears there must be some other difference in the new server environment causing the issues. It is not an error in one script, there are about 30 old websites that have been working with PHP 5.4 that now have errors on a new server.
