New MySQLi PHP Class for Interspire Shopping Cart upgrade to PHP 7.1.7

I am releasing the mysqli database adaptor I developed that allows for the system to run on versions of PHP higher that 5.6 without any apache modifications or modifications to the $GLOBAL[‘ISC_CLASS_DB’]->Query, Fetch, FetchAll, etc queries. This is a major part of upgrading Interspire Shopping Cart to run on PHP 7+ where you are forced to utilize MySQLi which has speed gains of 30%+ and PHP 7 which has speed updates of over 50%+. If you haven’t noticed that most hosting providers are defaulting to PHP 7 and requiring at least the use of PHP 5.6. It is a dying version and the apache and PHP mods aren’t being updated any longer so it’s really time to update your site. If you have any add-ons or modifications where you utilize a secondary database class in add-ons or modules, if you manually call up mysql_query for example as a function, you will need to replace them to use the built in DB class.

This file below is in beta, as it is version 1.0.1. I have been using Zend Servers Event Monitor to debug it. You will need to modify the config.php file and the lib/init.php file to make it load the DB file by name specified in the config/config.php file. The biggest issue I have had is the FetchOne function. Feel free to post any feedback!
