|Why don't you try this:|
|<?php|
|$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");|
||
|/* check connection */|
|if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {|
| printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());|
| exit();|
|}|
||
|printf("Host information: %s\n", $mysqli->host_info);|
||
|/* close connection */|
|$mysqli->close();|
|?>|
I took this script from the php manual so why don't you try it and see
what |mysqli_connect_error will do for you. In that you will debug the
previous script and find out what went wrong.|

Well if you are in the unix case then you should check if your php
supports mysqli :-) . In either case unix or not you could use phpinfo:

phpinfo();

Oh, sorry, I thought I posted this before. Looks like I didn't. I'm
pretty sure it supports mysqli:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5'
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php5/cgi' '--with-xml'
'--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--with-dom'
'--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' '--enable-exif'
'--with-swf=/usr/local/flash' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr'
'--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-gettext'
'--with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2004g' '--enable-mbstring'
'--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcrypt'
'--with-mhash' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysqli'
'--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--enable-discard-path'
'--with-pear' '--with-pspell' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars'
'--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf'
'--with-zip' '--with-zlib'
The 'mysqli_connect(...' call works, just not 'new mysqli(...'
If mysqli wasn't supported, then both would fail, right?

This will show a lot useful information about what your web server
and your php can or cannot do.

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?
If one works the other should too. Your code here looks fine
according to the manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php) - can
you send us exactly what you have?
OK, here's what I've got, cut and pasted directly out of the script:
********************************************
<body>
<?php
echo('Today is... ' . date('l, F dS Y. ').'<br>' );
?>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
?>
<?php
$db=new mysqli("localhost","whil","secret","test");
echo '$db is:'.$db.':';
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","whil","secret","test");
echo '$conn is:'.$conn.':';
?>
</body>
********************************************
1. If I comment out the $db and echo $db lines, the next two lines,
$conn and echo $conn generate the following:
Today is... Monday, August 27th 2007.
$conn is:Object id #1:
2. If I remove the $db and echo $db comments, I get the following:
Today is... Monday, August 27th 2007.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function new mysqli() in
index_listtest.php on line 17
I'm soooooooooo puzzled. :)
