Re: Class mysqli not found

Thanks Steve. Here's the php file: <?php /** * * * @version $Id$ * @copyright 2010 */ $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "woodcote", "testDB"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } else { printf("Host information: %s\n", mysqli_get_host_info($mysqli)); } ?> When I run this small program I get a Fatal Error: Class mysqli not found error message. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Staples" <sstaples@mnsi.net> To: "sueandant" <hollandsathome@tiscali.co.uk> Cc: "PHP" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 9:09 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Class mysqli not found

I'm still fighting a losing battle in my attempts to get PHP speak to mysqli. I can access MySql via the prompt. Apache and PHP are installed and working. In Apache's config file PHPIniDir is set to "C:\php", which is where I unzipped the binary download files, and set LoadModule php5_module C:\php\php5apache2_2.dll. In php.ini I have uncommented the mysql.dll and mysqli.dll extensions and set extension_dir = "C:\php\ext\". I have edited the environment variables to include C:\php and C:php\ext. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit with SP2, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3.3 and MySql Server 5.1. What have I missed?

How are you connecting to the mysql? What does your connection string look like from your php file? Can you cut and paste it here for us to trouble shoot (if it is the apache->php->mysql connection problem) Steve
