[SOLVED] mysqli

[tejama]

I need some help here folks.  I recently setup my hosting plan with GoDaddy (which I'm not happy with at all right now).  But in any case, on the comp I developed the code with, I had access to mysqli.  With GoDaddy, mysqli is not available.  In any case, could anyone explain how I can re-write this code to serve the same function?

 

function db_connect() {

  $result = new mysqli('mysql295.secureserver.net', 'user', 'pass', 'database');

  if (!$result)

    throw new Exception('Could not connect to database server');

  else

    return $result;

}

 

Thanks,

Tejama

function db_connect() 
{
  $result = mysql_connect("mysql295.secureserver.net", "user", "pass") or die ("Could not connect to database server" . mysql_error()) ;
  $select = msql_select_db("database",$result);
  if ($select)
    return $select;
}
