Re: mysqli_connect ??

Jim, You likely have to install the mysqli package for your distribution.

Try a search for something like    "ubuntu install php mysqli" or "centos install php mysqli"

I can tell you for ubuntu you probably would need to do something like this: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql If you're in a hosted environment, you might be out of luck unless they'll install it for you :-) But I would also be surprised if a hosted environment was missing this package. -Matt On 09/07/2012 01:36 PM, Jim Giner wrote:

Check to see if mysqli_functions are enabled with phpinfo()
