Answer 1

Mysql extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used.

This Line looks false. $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

If think you want to do $this->con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

Then

public function showAll() { $this->connect(); echo "THis is from the showAll method"; $this->closeDb(); } public function showAll() { $this->connect(); echo "THis is from the showAll method"; $this->closeDb(); } use $this !
