You guys aren't being terribly helpful. My mostly stock
12.04 has the mysqli library so something else is going on. You
might give the guy a little direction rather than berating him. or
me. His question was about the library being missing. My
answer was that it was included in the php_mysql package already and that
was the correct answer to his question. The following is the result
of a "locate mysqli" I've also followed with a sample
script that I ran against the localhost database which returned 11
rows.
These are the results of the locate command.
/usr/include/php5/ext/mysqli
/usr/include/php5/ext/mysqli/php_mysqli_structs.h
/usr/lib/php5/20090626/mysqli.so
/usr/share/man/man1/mysqlimport.1.gz
/usr/share/php/.registry/mdb2_driver_mysqli.reg
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/Datatype/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/Function/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/Manager/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/Native/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/MDB2/Driver/Reverse/mysqli.php
/usr/share/php/data/MDB2_Driver_mysqli
/usr/share/php/data/MDB2_Driver_mysqli/package_mysqli.xml
/usr/share/php/test/MDB2_Driver_mysqli
/usr/share/php/test/MDB2_Driver_mysqli/tests
/usr/share/php/test/MDB2_Driver_mysqli/tests/MDB2_nonstandard_mysqli.php
<?
$conn = new mysqli("localhost",
"user", "password", "mysql");
if
($conn->connect_errno)
{
printf("Connect failed:
%s\n", $conn->connect_error);
exit();
}
if ($result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM user")){
printf("Select returned %d rows.\n",
$result->num_rows);
$result->close();
}
Mind you I had a lot wrong with this script as I wrote it
because I don't generally use mysqli directly and mysqli didn't complain
about things being wrong. I thought that was a bit strange since I
work mostly in Java these days and Java complains mercilessly about this
that and the other thing.
