MySQL vs MySQLi

[Meizhen Hung]

Hi,

I got error message of 

Severity: 8192  --> mysql_pconnect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead ...../system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.php 91

Then I switched to mysqli

But I have trouble with converting  mysql_real_escape_string() for I don't know how to pass connection object as a parameter  to backend_api.php

The error 

 Severity: Warning  --> mysqli_real_escape_string() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given ......./application/controllers/backend_api.php 746

Thanks

Or How do I call the method from mysqli_driver.php,  function escape_str($str, $like = FALSE) from backend_api.php

Thanks

Found out the solution from latest code v1.1   $this->db->escape_str()

Hi, would be better to update the codeigniter system folder to latest versio.
