Hey, thanks in advance for the help, i am running 0.8.6 using mysql and the program works perfect. But when i go into the config and change it to mysqli, it gives the "We are sorry, but ProjectPier failed to connect to the database. Error report has been sent to the administrator so problem should be resolved soon." error. I know mysqli is working because i use it for phpmyadmin. Any idea why the mysqli wouldn't work? Let me know if you wanna see the logs.
If you have a look here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php you will see why mysqli is not working. mysqli needs different coding than mysql. Apparently phpMyAdmin has both sets of code on board. PP only for mysql.
