Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()

[genzedu777]

Hi,

 

Can someone help me? I have tried to upload my index.php file into my web hosting, but it turns out to give me this error.

 

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in D:\inetpub\vhosts\champion.com\httpdocs\index.php on line 40

 

I have checked my database connection, nothing wrong with it, I have entered the correct username, localhost, password and database name.

 

So what could actually happen? Please kindly advice. Thank you

 

 

Regards,

Wilson

Your hosting does not have the mysqli extension enabled. What version of php are you using?

Hi thorpe,

 

I am using php 5, I'm not too sure about my web host version though. mysqli_connect is applicable in PHP 5 right? Darn, what am I going to do now? So how should I programme then? Is there any other coding beside 'mysqli_connect' that I can use, which might be suitable for my current web host?

 

Thanks

Hi Thorpe,

 

I have tried using 'mysql_connect', it seems to work, but I am prompted an error for this, do you know what is it about?

 

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\inetpub\vhosts\championtutor.com\httpdocs\report.php on line 31

Error querying database

That simply means your query is failing and you haven't caught the error.

 

Post your code in php help.
