MySQL to MySQLi

[unavenged]

Hi,

I have a book called "PHP & MySQL for dummies" and i set up apache2, php5 and MySQL 5.1 and there was a screen that asked me to pick between MySQL and MySQLi and i picked the 1st one, but in the book they use MySQLi

How do i change to MySQLi?

I tried removing everything and reinstalling it but i don't get the same screen

When i installed it the 1st time i ran this command

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 python mysql-server-5.1 phpmyadmin

Thanks

did you make sure you removed all config files and whatnot before reinstalling?

[unavenged]

I thought if you use sudo apt-get autoremove it does remove all of the config files

I did remove all the config files and when i reinstalled the config files were missing and i still didn't get the screen asking to choose MySQL or MySQLi :/

Ok so i decided to redo my ubuntu from scratch, so i installed Mavrick and ran $ sudo tasksel and installed the lamp server from there, will MySQLi be enabled now or not?

Well this morning I quickly installed Joomla and according to it the database is MySQLi
