  CiviCRM is looking for the function [`mysqli_connect()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php), which is provided via the [`mysqli`](http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php) ("MySQL improved") extension in PHP.
  
  To enable this, uncomment -
  
  ```
  extension=mysqli.so
  
  ```
