I am having strange problem on the live server , mysqli_connect() does not working on the live server , although when I am using new mysqli() it is working on the live server , in my case I cannot use the new mysqli() OOP paradigm. I want to do it by mysqli_connect() , I have checked the php.ini file on the server it shows that I can use mysqli_connect()

this is my connection object with mysqli_connect();

$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx", "xxxx");

this is not working

although when i am using the same credentials with new mysqli()

$conn= new mysqli("localhost", "xxx", "xxx", "xxxx");

this piece of code is working..

Any help would be appreciated I want to execute my connection with mysqli_connect()

I am getting this error

PHP Warning:  mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002):

What error does it give you? You may need to explicitly check for [mysqli_connect_error](https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect-error.php) – aynber Mar 25 '20 at 12:49
@aynber when I added the command mentioned in the link you have given inside the comment nothing shows up.. – Tayyab Vohra Mar 25 '20 at 12:52
What debugging have you done so far? Not working in what way? If `$conn` is false, you really should be getting an error. – El_Vanja Mar 25 '20 at 13:00
showing what ever is mentioned inside the die() function – Tayyab Vohra Mar 25 '20 at 13:02
Have you checked the server's error logs? – Jay Blanchard Mar 25 '20 at 13:19
