I'm not sure who is in charge of the installation instuctions, but they are very confusing, they state:

"Moodle 2.0 needs PHP v 5.2.8. There have been some issues with deprecated tags in PHP v 5.3.0 which have a negative impact on a number of PHP Apps, Moodle not exempted, so please ensure your PHP version is later than v 5.3.2 if using a v5.3.x. There has also been reported some issues installing Moodle with PHP-Accelerator. See the PHP Moodle version requirements here PHP settings by Moodle version for more information."

But my web host is running 5.2.9 and I am still getting this MySqli issue and I am not sure how to fix it. Does Moodle 2 need 5.3.3 or will 5.2.9 work? If so, how do I get it work if I can't pick MySql as an option since MySql is the only choice I get.

Thanks,

Peter
