    MySQL help

    I'm having trouble with MySQL. When I try to use mysqli_connect( ), it says
    "call to undefined function". Any advice?

    The mysqli extension isn't enabled by default, but you must compile PHP
    explicitly with the appropriate flag (or have the extension directive in
    your php.ini point to the php_mysqli.dll under Windows).

    See http://www.php.net/mysqli for more info.

        In your php.ini file, you will find something like the following:

        ;extension=php_ xdebug.dll
        ;extension=php_ bz2.dll
        ;extension=php_ cpdf.dll
        ;extension=php_ crack.dll

        Just add a line like (without the preceding semicolon):

        extension=php_m ysqli.dll

        Ensure that the php_mysqli.dll is located in the directory indicated by the
        extension_dir directive and restart your webserver.

          Yeah, i got that, but I can't figure out what to do with the extension_dir
          directive.
