searching the website for mysqli functions does not lead to a result

[staabm]

search php.net for e.g. mysqli_fetch_row does not find a corresponding manual page

see https://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=mysqli_fetch_row&scope=quickref

Yeah, that's a long standing issue: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49956. Unfortunately, not quite easy to resolve.

If anyone is getting WP installs failing due to mysqli not being found or your site is now 404 error loading then go back 8.0.

I noticed when using 8.1 websites would get a 404 error and some applications like WP would fail install due to mysqli not being found. going back to 8.0 fixed the issue for me. mysqli won't even show in the extensions tab when using 8.1.

This is using cPanel with Verpex Hosting.

This is semi-resolved since #1007 was merged. Typing mysqli_fetch_row in the search box produces mysqli_result::fetch_row as the second autocomplete result, though submitting it (without selecting a suggestion) as a server-side search still does not find it.

Developing the server-side search algorithm to align with autocomplete suggestions and accurately match functions like mysqli_fetch_row could resolve the issue.

@staabm Hi, after updating the search, I guess the issue is no longer relevant, and we can close it.

[staabm]

you are right. the new search is awesome.

thanks!
