nomirock Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have shared hosting account and my webhost does not provide mysqli is there anyway i can run mysqli based scripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 MySQLi is only available with PHP 5.0.0 or higher, so if your host doesn't have it, they're most likely not running PHP5. Ask them to make sure they're running the latest versions of PHP (5.2.3) and MySQL (5.0.45). The only other extension that offers the same advanced features is the "PDO" (PHP Data Objects) extension, but this has pretty much the same requirements as MySQLi, so if your host doesn't have MySQLi, then chances are PDO won't work either.

PC Nerd Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 no, its available from 4.1.1 onwards i beleive, but its main functionality update was in v5. i might be wrong. most host these daysoffer at least 4.1.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 MySQL Improved functions (mysqli_) are only available for PHP5 or greater. If your host has PHP4 then you wont be able to use the MySQL Improved functions. Instead you will have to resort to using the standard mysql functions (mysql_*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
