I've successfully installed php5 and mysqli on my home system, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on a dedicated box with an ISP. They've installed php5 but this piece of code always returns "MySQLi is not installed...
If mysqli's php extensions are built, on the server, and placed in the extension directory, all you have to do is add the appropriate line to the extension section of php.ini .. and restart the web server.
If it's not built and you don't have access to a built version, you'll need to build it.
Can I assume from this that I don't have mysqli installed? I'm wondering is there a way to add the extension for mysqli manually or do I have to recompile php 5?
