WampServer

Hi Everybody,

I have a pretty basic and simple question:

Are the native MySQL version provided with WAMP also responsive to MySQLi statements?

Many Thanks,
Paul

YES, all of them.

Simple proof of the pudding is to TRY IT!

Then maybe we can help you with it!

Hi,

Connection procedures and queries via mysql or mysqli do not depend on MySQL but on PHP.

The mysql extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0.

So, since Wampserver 3.0.0 the mysqli extension is supported.

> I did try, and received a connect error:
If you receive an error, it means that your connection procedure is not correct or that the information you are giving is not the right one.

How to connect with mysqli : mysqli_connect

With Wampserver, there is a script to test the MySQL connection:
C:\wamp64\www\testmysql.php
You edit this file to put in the correct information, then launch it with :
'http://localhost/testmysql.php'
