Site breaks with update to PHP 5.6

Here is the error message I get. Godaddy said it was in the way the site is connecting to the database. I've added the connection script.

Deprecated: mysql_pconnect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/content/01/9510801/html/BlackFitAndSingle/Connections/connSiteDB.php on line 9

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/content/01/9510801/html/BlackFitAndSingle/Connections/connSiteDB.php on line 14

That is just a warning. You can turn warnings off and it won't effect the functionality. It is just warning you that your code won't work on php7, but it won't actually cause issues in 5 or even 6.

How do I turn the warning off?

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE

Or you may add the following line to a PHP file itself, inside existing or new <?php ?> tags:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE);


You can contact godaddy support if you need help finding your php.ini file to update it.
