call to undefined function mysql_connect

Question

Trying to run a search and replace but am getting an error

 Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in E:\xampp\htdocs\test\wp-includes\wp-db.php:1688

I have checked my WP files and have both mysqli_connect and msql_connect referenced in there. I have tried to replace all mysql_connect references to mysqli_connect however I then get the same error for the new name

 Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in E:\xampp\htdocs\test\wp-includes\wp-db.php:1688

When I run wp --info I get:
