From a php-general thread earlier:

  <?php
  $db=new mysqli('localhost','whil','secret','test');
  ?>

generates:

  Fatal error: Call to undefined function new mysqli() in index.php on
  line 24

while

  <?php
  $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","whil","secret","test");
  echo 'conn good: '.$conn.' :very good indeed<br>';
  ?>

generates success:

  conn good: Object id #1 :very good indeed

The book I'm working with (PHP & MySQL Web Dev, Welling/Thompson) specifically defines the 'new mysqli' syntax. So I'm guessing I don't have something configured right?

Whil

I don't see a constructor for mysqli at http://php.net/mysqli
Your book is probably defining a class that you didn't include/require. For example, search for the following at the php page above:
require_once('safe_mysqli.php');
try {
   $mysql = new safe_mysqli

You will need to have the class your book is defining before you can instantiate such an object.
