How to install MySQLi

Question

I cannot find instructions about installing MySQLi on a Mac. Just to be clear, MySQL is up to date and I am running PHP 5. How do I install it? Where do I even get it from? Thanks for your help. I'll be giving an up vote and a check mark to whoever answers this!

Answer 1

Here is the link for installation details: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php

If you are using Windows or Linux:
- The MySQLi extension is automatically installed in most cases, when PHP & MySQL package is installed.

Answer 2

Use php-mysqlnd instead of php-mysql

apt-get install php-mysqlnd

Answer 3

This article is clearly explained, how to install MySqli with EachApache. This works for me too.

To install mysqli using EachApache:

1. Login to WHM as 'root' user.

2. Either search for "EasyApache" or go to Software > EasyApache

3. Scroll down and select a build option (Previously Saved Config)

4. Click Start "Start customizing based on profile"

5. Select the version of Apache and click "Next Step".

6. Select the version of PHP and click "Next Step".

7. Chose additional options within the "Short Options List"

8. Select "Exhaustive Options List" and look for "MySQL Improved extension"

9. Click "Save and Build"
