engy123 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi, I am trying to connect to a database using mysqli from a web developing software package called Sellerdeck. This software is purely windows based, it has PHP configured to a certain extent it seems. I ran the phpinfo(); command and can't find anything to do with MYSQL in the settings of the version. So i tried to download the php_mysql.dll and libmysql.dll files, I have referenced them in the php.ini file by using extension_dir="./" extension=php_mysql.dll extension=libmysql.dll (Also best to mention that " extension_dir="./" " was the only line of text in the php.ini file by default) This didn't seem to make a difference at all, still get the same error. Is there anything I can try to do? I really can't understand it as php 5 comes with mysql built in, but it seems that Sellerdeck have stripped that usability from the php version! Any advice appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/294263-mysqli-class-missing-from-php-version-5/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch0cu3r Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So i tried to download the php_mysql.dll and libmysql.dll files, Those files are for the old mysql extension. MySQLi requires the php_mysqli.dll extension to be enabled. You should not need to download the mysql extensions as they are bundled with PHP I would suggest you add your PHP installation folder to the Windows PATH Environment Variable first and then configure the extensions_dir directive in the php.in to be an absolute path to the ext/ folder in your PHP installation folder.
