	//	****** MySQLI OPTIONS *****
	// When using MySQL 4.1+, MySQLi should be used to connect to the database.
	// If you need to set the default connection charset because your database
	// is using a charset other than latin1, you can set the charset here.
	// If you don't set the charset to be the same as your database, you
	// may receive collation errors.  Ignore this setting unless you
	// are sure you need to use it.
// $config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8';
