Probably, you are using the wrong version of PHP
See here: PHP: mysql_real_escape_string - Manual[^]

Quote:
mysql_real_escape_string — Escapes special characters in a string for use in an SQL statement

Warning
This 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. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:

mysqli_real_escape_string()
PDO::quote()
