How to install mysqli on my server?

Posted on June 17, 2014

It seems my server doesn’t have mysqli. How can I install it? I tried to follow the instructions on php.net by running the following command: <pre> ./configure --with-mysql=/usr –with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config </pre> It returns: <pre> -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory </pre> Thanks!
