Here's what I've checked so far: I checked my php.ini file. I tried adding this to the dynamic extensions section: extension=msql.so extension-msqli.so The php.ini file already contains the [MySQLi] code related to max_links, default_port, default_socket, default_host, etc. And my extensions_dir is set to what I think is the appropriate extensions file on the server, though it is set with the ext directory as part of the path, which may be unnecessary. The php.ini file I am editing is the one indicated as the Configuration File Path when I run the phpinfo function. Can anyone help me figure out why the mysqli_connect() function isn't working with the configuration described. Thanks in advance for any help. Caroleigh Deneen

Hi. Are you using the webserver PHP module? If so you should be able to get the output from php_info() displayed in a browser window. It's alot easier to debug PHP setup from there. Looking at the output from php_info() in a browser, you should see the mysql nad mysqli modules loaded. See if you have got that far.
