mysqli in php flex environment doesn't work.

[Thomas Valadez]

Recently we became aware that our php55 standard environment wasn't going to cut it since we need to be able to dynamically read and write files to the system. So I decided to switch over to flex environment, which was a breeze. Thanks Google, for making things so easy.  

However, there is one hang up. mysqli doesn't work.  I detailed the errors extensively here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44708684/cannot-use-mysqli-in-php-flex-env-on-app-engine

Is this possible, is there a way to get mysqli to work when it is deployed?  Any help, insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Thomas,

Glad you like the Flex runtime.

re: mysqli

You can specify the default socket name by having `php.ini` with the following (replace the CONNECTION_NAME with yours):

```

mysqli.default_socket= '/cloudsql/CONNECTION_NAME' 

```

Also make sure the `sqladmin` api is enabled. You can confirm it by visiting:

https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/sqladmin.googleapis.com/overview

If it doesn't work, please share reproducible app with me so that i can take a look.

Thanks,
