How can you run a mysqli query with CodeIgniter?

Question

Does anyone have a clue how to run a mysqli query with CI. I did change the db driver in the config file, but I\'m still unable to use multiple queries like

$sql         


        

Answer 1

No need for additional libraries in CI if you want to change mysql to mysqli just go to the config->database.php and change to $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql'; to $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';

Answer 2

You cannot use CI's Active Records at this time, but you can use mysqli functions with the connection / mysqli instance that CI created. Set your CodeIgniter database driver to mysqli, then call mysqli functions like mysqli_multi_query($this->db->conn_id...

Answer 3

At this moment, even if CI supports mysqli, multiple queries are not supported as far as I know.
