mysqli_connect error

[futrose]

Can anyone see what might be wrong with this?  I am getting this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\includes\db.inc.php on line 4

 

here is the file

<?php
//include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/dbinfo.inc.php';
//$link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password);
$link = mysqli_connect('ipaddress', 'root', '****');
if (!$link)
{
$error = 'Unable to connect to the database server.';
include 'includes/error.php';
exit();
}

if (!mysqli_set_charset($link, 'utf8'))
{
$error = 'Unable to set database connection encoding.';
include 'includes/error.php';
exit();
}

if (!mysqli_select_db($link, 'biblebaptist'))
{
$error = 'Unable to locate the database.';
include 'includes/error.php';
exit();
}
?>

 

it was working fine before, now it isn't.  I have the php.ini file set to mysqli by removing the ; from the line.  I'm not sure what else to check.  This is on my local machine (testing server) if that matters.

If your mysqli code previously worked, but does not now, it is likely that you accidentally typed a non-printing or a foreign language character as part of the function name.

 

I recommend completely retyping that line.

 

If your mysqli code never worked, then by turning on the error_reporting/display_errors settings, you have exposed an error that was always present.

I tried retyping the line... no luck.

For some reason I decided to try restarting apache which solved the problem.  Thanks for trying to help out.
