PHP MySQL upgrade to MySQLi

I followed your directions in step one (only). The builder of this site (not me) had anticipated MySQLi and had a 'case tree' that read the database type. Based on that 'type', it used the appropriate class. However, I only changed the database 'type' from mysql to mysqli ... there were no errors on load. The class being used (mysqlie.class.php) only has a handful of functions in it. I did not edit every instance of mysql throughout the site, yet the site seems to be functioning normally. Why would this be?? Thanks for this tutorial.

It sounds like it has database wrappers already set up and the actual calls to the database are being made through the appropriate wrapper.

Without seeing the code I could be wrong, however no changes would need to be made for everything to function properly if this where the case.

Is this the wrapper that you refer to, and going forward will I have to edit everything else in the site? There are tons of pages using just MySQL.

/**
* Constructs the class and initializes some variables
* @param string $server_name - The server name for the connection
* @param string $username - The username for the connection
* @param string $password - The password for the connection
* @param string $name - The name of the database
* @param object $qls - Contains all the other classes
* @optional integer $port - Port number if needed
* @return void but will output error if found
*/
function MySQLie($server_name, $username, $password, $name, &$qls, $port = false) {
$this->qls = &$qls;
$this->server_name = $server_name;
$this->username = $username;
$this->password = $password;
$this->name = $name;
$this->port = $port;

// Connect to the database, or if you want die I don't care :P
$this->connection = ($this->port !== false) ? mysqli_connect($this->server_name, $this->username, $this->password, $this->name, $this->port) : mysqli_connect($this->server_name, $this->username, $this->password, $this->name);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
die(mysqli_connect_error());
}
}

That is part of a class, which looks like a database wrapper, that is making a mysqli connection. As long as the code calls this class, it should handle everything as mysqli.

can you help me to integrate this package in my web file called mysql.php, I am using interspire shopping cart that is giving me error on php 7 like this :-

Your PHP installation does not have MySQL support. Please enable MySQL support in PHP or ask your web host to do so for you.

I dont know much about php and codes so not able to do so

Thanks
