Mysqli supported in Latest PHP versions?

[mianfraz]

I have several scripts running with mysqli extensions previously with PHP 7.4 and 8.1 as well. Now I am not able to run mysqli functions using latest php versions also 7.4 as well.

My scripts getting following errors:
An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: Error

Message: Call to undefined function mysqli_init()

I came to know that cPanel discontinue mysqli functions from latest cpanel versions. Is it true? If yes then how to use Mysqli functions as i have several scripts on different websites.

Hey there! You'll want to make sure the "mysqlnd" package is installed on your system for the appropriate PHP version. You may also want to review the details in this article for more information:

The mysqlnd tool covers all the functions that mysqli performed.
