From a php-general thread earlier:
<?php
$db=new mysqli('localhost','whil','secret','test');
?>
generates:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function new mysqli() in index.php on
line 24
while
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","whil","secret","test");
echo 'conn good: '.$conn.' :very good indeed<br>';
?>
generates success:
conn good: Object id #1 :very good indeed
The book I'm working with (PHP & MySQL Web Dev, Welling/Thompson) specifically defines the 'new mysqli' syntax. So I'm guessing I don't have something configured right?
