Thanks again to everyone. I have just checked the servers phpinfo, and turns out they are running PHP Version 4.3.11 while I have verstion 5.2.8, could this change any of the advice?

Gary, you can check this by either creating a file containing this: <?php phpinfo(); ?> and putting it up on your webserver, then open in with your browser, or you could look at the output of "php -i | less" on the command line. After you enabled the mysqli extension on your host, you might change mysqli_connect('$var', '$var2', ...); to mysqli_connect($var, $var2, ...) One side node.. you should apply addslashes() also to $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'), because an evil person could manipulate the value of that variable to execute SQL-Injections.
