Should be simple enough... Do you have the mysqli driver enabled in your php.ini file? ;extension=php_mysqli.dll should become extension=php_mysqli.dll hth, Yves ------ Original Message ------ Received: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:55:37 PM CDT From: "Katiyar \(GMail\)" <katiyar76@xxxxxxxxx> To: <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Cc: <php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: How to access MySQL through PHP in windows 2K. Praveen's MailHi List, I am new to PHP and as well as with MySQL, a.. I have installed PHP 5.28, on win 2K (with IIS) and it is installed properly I suppose, as when I call phpinfo (), through a script, it shows the PHP Information. b.. then I installed MySQL 5.1.30, and through MySQL command prompt I am able to do things (creating tables, making queries etc). c.. Now I want to use MySQL with PHP, but seems that MySQLI is not installed properly. as when I write a following script in a php page I get the error, that 'MySQLi' is not installed properly,. <?php $si = function_exists ( 'mysqli_connect' ) ; if ( $si ) { echo ' MySQLi appears to be installed correctly ' ; } else { echo 'MySQLi <B> does not </B> appears to be installed. ' ; } ?> I understand that it is a configuration error somewhere, as I am new here in this world I am unable to figure out what ? I am attaching the php.ini for the reference.
