Class 'mysqli_connect' not found

Question

Okay so this is my problem now. I am using PHP 5.5.12 and MySQL 5.6.17. The php mysqli_connect is checked on my php settings but still getting error. ANy help? Thanks in adv

Answer 1

You should do :

$link = mysqli_connect ("localhost", "root", "", "towertec_master");
// without new

Answer 2

mysqli_connect is a function, not a class. What you want is either:

$link = mysqli_connect(...);

or

$link = new mysqli(...);

Both are equivalent.
