Praveen's MailHi List,


I am new to PHP and as well as with MySQL,=20

a.. I have installed PHP 5.28, on win 2K (with IIS) and it is =
installed properly I suppose, as when I call phpinfo (), through a =
script, it shows the PHP Information.=20
b.. then I installed MySQL 5.1.30, and through MySQL command prompt I =
am able to do things (creating tables, making queries etc).=20
c.. Now I want to use MySQL with PHP, but seems that MySQLI is not =
installed properly. as when I write a following script in a php page I =
get the error, that 'MySQLi' is not installed properly,.
$si =3D function_exists ( 'mysqli_connect' ) ;
if ( $si )
{
echo ' MySQLi appears to be installed correctly ' ;
}
else
{
echo 'MySQLi does not appears to be installed. ' =
;
}
?>

I understand that it is a configuration error somewhere, as I am new =
here in this world I am unable to figure out what ?

I am attaching the php.ini for the reference.
