title: mysqli for php on Ubuntu 8.04 LAMP stack
body: <p>Does anyone know how, on Ubuntu 8.04, with PHP 5 and MySQL 5.0, to enable/install the mysqli package/extensions?</p>
  
  <p>Preferably I'd like to preserve the existing installations, but, if necessary, I'll reinstall from scratch.</p>
  
  <p>I realise it's not, technically, programming-related but, I think (at a stretch, maybe) it's programming-enabling? <em>hopes</em></p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help you're able to provide.</p>
