mysqli for WordPress 2.9.1
January 7th, 2010 • 3 comments freebies, mysql, patch, wordpress
WordPress does not officialy support the mysqli drivers. I needed my WordPress installation to use the mysqli class instead of the mysql ones. I’m sure there will be someone else out there with the same needs I decided to place the modified database class and the patch file online. Use whichever you prefer.
xampp mysqli crashes apache
November 18th, 2009 • apache, mysql, php, windows, xampp
Is your XAMPP installation crashing apache when using the mysqli PHP functions on windows? The apache logs are not telling anything even when you have debug mode enabled? Are you getting something like “Faulting application apache.exe, version 2.2.11.0, faulting module ntdll.dll” or “Faulting application apache.exe, version 2.2.11.0, faulting module MSVCR71.dll.” ?
Really? Sure? Well here’s your solution…
Download the most recent version of php_mysqli.dll and place it in <yourxampdir>\php\ext directory.You might want to take a backup of the file you’re replacing in case it doesn’t work…
You can download the php_mysqli.dll righ here or you’ll have to find a recent version for your PHP version yourself.
