Hi,

This error is what I encountered on all my domain and subdomains today.

The php scripts of configuration to connect to the databases are untouched. I tested on using mysql_connect(), it works fine.

In the php.ini files, mysqli extensions are enabled.

Anyone can give me an idea of what is going wrong?

Sent two messages to the service but no response received yet.

Thanks.

Have you been running with PHP 5 enabled? If so, if your server was moved or upgraded, it may be back to PHP 4 even though cPanel (and the .htaccess entry) says "PHP 5". Back up your public_html/.htaccess file, and try disabling PHP 5 from cPanel and then re-enabling it. I did a quick search for mysqli in these forums, and problems with it not working seem to often be related to PHP 5 not being properly enabled. It's worth a shot...

Hi, thanks. That php5 setting solved the problem.

After removed php5 and installed it again, mysqli_connect() works.

Though don't know how it was disabled, it happened once before, long ago.

The site is back to normal, thank you.

It bothered me for almost two weeks. The php5 setting was shown "enabled".

thanks a lot!
