MySQL error

[Funny]

I am trying to install a script. The database connection is successful but when opening the index page I get:

Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /home/***/public_html/***/file*name.php on line **

And in file*name.php I have:

$this->db = new mysqli($config['dbhost'], $config['dbuser'], $config['dbpass'], $config['dbname'] );

I tried changing mysqli to mysql but din't work. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to install or have your host install mysqli.

But why cant I use mysql?
MySQL is installed.

You could ask the script's developer to change the MySQLi calls to MySQL calls.

Just removing that extra 'i' from function calls won't help

Any tutorial to do it myself?

You should go ahead and ask the host to install MySQLi extension. Future versions of PHP might not support MySQL and that may cause trouble.

There are none I can find on the older mysql to mysqli .
But there must be many instances of the mysqli throughout this code.. All the newer scripts are being based in the newer MySql versions.
