Need help with mysqli_connect()

Hi

New here, I’ve been stuck on this problem for a while now. My script contains the following line: $link = mysqli_connect(‘localhost’,‘root’,‘password’); which produces fatal error: undefined function mysqli_connect.

Now I’ve checked php.ini and the extension=php_mysqli.dll is uncommented, and the path to the extension folder is right.

Why is this not working for me, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just reset the apache server, I get the same message though.

I should mention that I had Xampp and Wamp installed on the pc before I decided to install php and mysql manually. I removed the files for Xampp and Wamp, could there be conflict from leftover files?

Did you reboot the server after uncommenting the

extension=php_mysqli.dll

line?
