I recently upgraded to PHP5 and for some reason I am having issues with a website that uses the mysql\_connect() command and it is giving me this error.

**Fatal error** : Call to undefined function mysql\_connect() in **/home/httpd/vhosts/therealclays.com/httpdocs/dbinclude.php** on line \*\*2

\*\*I am assuming they removed this function in PHP 5. What would I replace it with?
