Possible Solution be among below :
- Install Mysql server.
- uncomment out
connection = php_mysql
in php.ini file. - If you using IIS try again with Apache. as php not works well with IIS
- use MySQLi Server Behaviors an Dreamweaver extension which is improved, streamlined version of MySQL.

extension=msql.dll found this did not found extension=php_mysql.dll – shiva kumar nani Jan 31 '18 at 22:04
Your XAMPP control panel should have a mySQL (or mariaDB) button
All you have to do is press the Start
button, and then wait until the indicator turns green. If you do not have this button, you did not install mySQL (or mariaDB on newer versions), and this requires a modification of XAMPP installation, or even a full reinstall.

ya i installed this running well but when connect mysql php admin database in Dreamweaver it says error – shiva kumar nani Jan 31 '18 at 22:16
Which PHP version do you have on your remote and local testing servers? If unsure, add this code to a new PHP test page and run it from your server & localhost.
<?php phpinfo() ?>
Deprecated server behaviors in DW are outdated and no longer supported in PHP 7+, you can try with PHP 5 > latest version, that should solve it, we get used to not respecting PHP versions of our editors like DW, and the issues of communication failure start there.

I experienced the same thing, Database >> MySQL Connection >> after filling out the form for connecting dreamweaver to xampp >> Your PHP server doesn't have the mysql_(p)connect function.
i don't know the error on xampp or dreamweaver i use.
DW 2014 to DW 2021 all failed.
