convert mysql to mysqli

Hi Ray

Am probably doing this wrong, but trying to convert a myswl rs to mysqli.

I open the page, open the rs itself and then try to change the connection to a mysqli one but only the mysql connection shows in the connection dropdown as you can see here: http://prntscr.com/j6ahkc

Is this the right path to do this or have I misunderstood?

Cheers

Jamie

That is the correct path. Have you installed the latest version lately? I just tested and it seems to be working for me.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

have tried it on both my laptop (installed on Saturday) and my desktop (installed yesterday) and neither show the mysqli connection

I'll debug it with you when you call later.

thanks Ray. Just for the record, I had installed Databridge first (should be last) and also installed the MySqli behaviors (which is not requiredwith the beta)

OK, have just tried to do a conversion on several pages and get this error: http://prntscr.com/j6rl8d

I'd like to debug this. Can I get FTP access and a copy of the page? I'll try and see if I can figure out why it fails.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

OK, details in PM

FYI, it was off a fresh installation (new configuration folder) and installed databridge last as you suggested without mysqli.

I was able to find the issue and fix it. Please re-install and try again.
