FWIW, the mysqli() interface was introduced with PHP 5.0 (says
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.php)
As far as I can tell, your website is hosted by HostGator, who advertise
that their hosting services provide (among other things) PHP 5.
(http://www.hostgator.com/shared, under the "Programming and Database
Features" heading)
It looks like your hosting service provides the PHP level that supports
mysqli(). So, ISTM, there's nothing stopping you from writing your PHP
scripts to use the mysqli() interface.
