mysqli for php on Ubuntu 8.04 LAMP stack


Does anyone know how, on Ubuntu 8.04, with PHP 5 and MySQL 5.0, to enable/install the mysqli package/extensions?

Preferably I'd like to preserve the existing installations, but, if necessary, I'll reinstall from scratch.

I realise it's not, technically, programming-related but, I think (at a stretch, maybe) it's programming-enabling? hopes

Thanks for any help you're able to provide.


Solution

  • You might have to install php with the mysqli option: apt-get install php5-mysqli
