How can you run a mysqli query with CodeIgniter?

Question

Does anyone have a clue how to run a mysqli query with CI. I did change the db driver in the config file, but I\'m still unable to use multiple queries like

$sql         


        

Answer 1

You cannot use CI's Active Records at this time, but you can use mysqli functions with the connection / mysqli instance that CI created. Set your CodeIgniter database driver to mysqli, then call mysqli functions like mysqli_multi_query($this->db->conn_id...
