Your php.ini file is probably missing this:
extension=php_mysql.dll

or there is a semi-colon in front of that line commenting it out.

Thanks Ray,

I figured that out and fixed the problem.

Hey Ray.

Searching forums for a recent post/resolution to the above error where im using PhP v7.4 from a recent XAMPP install.
I've tried editing the php.ini with extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll but it doesn't resolve the warning.

Interestingly the remainder of the form on the same page loads ok.

Any thoughts?

mysql is deprecated for php7 and above. You can't enable it in the php.ini.

You would have to convert everything to mysqli to have it work properly in php7 or later.
