Deprecated: mysql_connect():

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/gorilla911/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1520

Notice: Undefined index: acb5ec in /home/gorilla911/public_html/wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor/includes/class-ure-screen-help.php on line 1

I checked my PHP version and it's 5.6.31. Also, I can not access wp-admin.

The MySQL extension:

  • Is not under active development
  • Is officially [deprecated][1] as of PHP 5.5 (released June 2013).
  • Has been removed entirely as of PHP 7.0 (released December 2015)
  • Lacks an OO interface
  • Doesn't support:
    • Non-blocking, asynchronous queries
    • [Prepared statements][2] or parameterized queries
    • Stored procedures
    • Multiple Statements
    • Transactions
    • The "new" password authentication method (on by default in MySQL 5.6; required in 5.7)
    • All of the functionality in MySQL 5.1

Since it is deprecated, using it makes your code less future proof.
