Convert mysql_stat to mysqli_stat help

[Falcon Capt]

I need to convert the following code snippets from MySQL to work with MySQLi

if ($_REQUEST['show'] == 'mysqlstats' || empty($_REQUEST['show'])) {
	print_form_header('', '');
	print_table_header('MySQL Stats &nbsp;<span class="normal">mysql_stat()</span>');
	print_description_row(si_mysqlstats());
	print_table_footer();
	}

function si_mysqlstats() {
	$s = '';
	$status = explode('  ', mysql_stat());
	while ( list($k, $v) = each($status) ) {
		$s .= $v . '<br />';
	}
	return $s;
}

Thanks for any help provided!
