升级PHP后我无法使用mysql_ *函数

我在PHP升级方面遇到了一些问题.以前，我使用的是PHP 5.2.0及更低版本；现在我已经升级到PHP 5.5.0.我的一些摘要未按预期运行.

I am having few problems with the PHP upgrade. Before, I was using PHP 5.2.0 and below; now I have upgraded to PHP 5.5.0. A few of my snippets are not running as I expected.

例如，这是一个.它说，

Here is one, for example. it says,

不建议使用:mysql_real_escape_string()

Deprecated: mysql_real_escape_string()

我尝试了mysqli_real_escape_string()并遇到了另一个错误:

I tried mysqli_real_escape_string() and got another error:

警告:mysqli_real_escape_string()恰好需要2个参数，其中1个是

Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in

这是我的代码:

 <?php 

 require_once("includes/session.php");
  require_once("connections/connection.php"); 
   require_once("includes/functions.php"); 
?> 
<?php
 $username = $_POST['username'];
 $password = $_POST['password'];
 //$hashed_password= md5($password);

?>
<!--Receive username password and authenticate whether the same or not with database one. -->
<?php
 $username = stripslashes($username);
 $password = stripslashes($password);
 $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($username);
 $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($password);

?>

<?php

 $query = "SELECT * 
     FROM login 
     WHERE username = '{$username}' 
     AND password = '{$password}' 
     AND status=1";

 $result = mysql_query($query);
 $count = mysql_num_rows($result);
 if($count == 1){
  //for the session
   $result_fetch= mysql_fetch_array($result);
   $_SESSION['user_id']= $result_fetch['id'];
   $_SESSION['user_name']= $result_fetch['username'];

   session_register("username");
      session_register("password");
   header("Location: dashboard.php");
   exit;
 }
 else{
   echo "The username or password is incorrect."; 
 }
?>


<?php
 //5.Close connection
 if(isset($connection)){
  mysql_close($connection);
 }

?>
