Can I get FTP access to the site and the page you are working on?
The old server behaviors will remain for backward compatibility. If you choose a MySQLi connection it should be updating the code on the page. Something else on your page could be causing it to not work and throwing the error.
Please post alpha issues to this thread:

The current one is too long.
