mysqli is simply an extension of newer versions of mysql, not a separate environment, in short if the server has a current version of mysql, you would simply write your php scripts to use mysqli function as opposed to mysql functions

in short if the server is running mysql 4.1.3 or greater (which is most likely the case) then mysqli functions should be available for use
http://www.php.net should have plenty of documentation on mysqli implementation
