Mysql vs. Mysqli

[kreut]

How do I know whether my server supports Mysql or Mysqli?  My guess is that I can just call my hosting company for the remote access, but what about my local testing server?

 

Thanks!

mysql and mysqli are just extensions in php.

 

You can see loaded extensions creating a file with this on it:

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Also, if you're testing in your application, the extension_loaded function is useful.  And if you're at the command a simple php -m will give you a list of loaded extension, though be warned some systems have a different config for command line usage than loaded with the web server.

Thanks so much!
