The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration

Question

I am having apache 2.2 with php5, phpMyAdmin, and MySQL. I uncomment the extension, I have also checked my phpinfo() and mysqli does not come up. My config directory is where it should actually be and it still will not load.

Answer 1

• Inside your Xampp folder, open the "php.ini" file which will be inside the PHP folder i.e xamppphpphp.ini (using any text editor).
• Search for extension=mysqli (using Ctrl+F), or if there are two, look for the one that has been uncommented (without ";" behind)
• Then change your mysqli with the correct path address i.e extension=C:xamppphpextphp_mysqli.dll.
• Then open your Xampp control panel, stop and start apache and MySQL.
