I'm getting the dreaded:
Fatal Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()
I've read the forums and understand this is typically fixed by turning on the MySQLi extension in php.ini. I have done this.
My concern and my question is that the referenced function works fine. I connect to the database and i'm able to run queries on the database. But keeps throwing this error.
Is it possible that the program is looking at 2 different php.ini files? When I run phpinfo(); it shows the correct php.ini file. If this is the culprit, how can I figure out where this other phantom php.ini file is?
I'm using phpdesigner8 to write and test my code. I have XAMPP and MySQL workbench that I also use on my testing machine. Just curious if this will even matter to the end product. Again everything works fine, even when I put it on my live server. Just don't want this to get in the way on down the road, i'm only about 10% done with the coding and don't want to get 90% and this simple thing be the one thing that crashes the whole program.
Here is my connect file that I'm using:
$server = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx";
$user = "xxxxxxxx";
$password = "xxxxxxxx";
$database = "xxxxxxxx";
$conn = mysqli_connect($server, $user, $password, $database);
if (!$conn) {
die("connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
Thanks
