HipHop Fatal error: Class undefined: mysqli

Question

I'm using:

HipHop VM v2.3.3 (rel) (so HHVM-fastcgi)

When I use this: $mysqli = new mysqli("... I get:

HipHop Fatal error: Class undefined: mysqli

What can this mean?

PS:
Php -v = PHP 5.4.24-1+sury.org~precise+1 (cli) (built: Jan 24 2014 11:05:09)

Googling "hhvm mysqli" shows you instantly that HHVM doesn't support mysqli. Please, do google before asking here.. — N.B., Jan 27 '14 at 21:34
This is true and false at the same time, I have mysqli working with HHVM, but after the upgrade to v2.3.3 it stopped, so it worked before :-S — Bob van Luijt, Jan 27 '14 at 21:35

The mysqli extension is being worked on. It is expected to land in HHVM 2.5.0 as the 2.4.0 branch has already been cut.

Aha, so how can I use the `hhvm-nightly` exactly? – Bob van Luijt Jan 27 '14 at 22:12

Ok according to what I found, mysqli isn't implemented in hiohop, only the older mysql extention is though, you'll need to convert your db calls to use mysql not mysqli.

Also here's an issue link on github

Thanks, but i'm not using php5-fpm but, HHVM – Bob van Luijt Jan 27 '14 at 21:32
well I don't really know what that is exactly, you just need to restart `php` after installing the extention – Mohammad AbuShady Jan 27 '14 at 21:33
im trying to look around to find something useful – Mohammad AbuShady Jan 27 '14 at 21:37
