Or, running PHP/MySQL/Apache on a Windows-flavored box, rather than compiling, I would need to uncomment the mysqli extension in PHP.ini, correct? (Then restart Apache.)
I see a number of similar extensions in PHP.ini:
;extension=php_mssql.dll
;extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
As well as a dozen of MySQLi mentions. (They don't actually say "X"):
[MySQLI]
; Maximum number of links. -1 means no limit.
mysqli.max_links = X
; Default port number for mysqli_connect(). If unset, mysqli_connect() will use
; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the
; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look
; at MYSQL_PORT.
mysqli.default_port = X
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in
; MySQL defaults.
mysqli.default_socket = X
; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
mysqli.default_host = X
; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
mysqli.default_user = X
; Default password for mysqli_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file.
; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo get_cfg_var("mysqli.default_password")
; and reveal this password! And of course, any users with read access to this
; file will be able to reveal the password as well.
mysqli.default_password = X
; Allow or prevent reconnect
mysqli.reconnect = X
So, would I need specifically find the package that contains MySQLi, or I am sufficiently set up as is?
p.s. - I bookmarked your site ... :-)
