apache - The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration

Question

I have looked through all of the forums that I could find relevant to this question and my problem yet nothing works. I have apache2.2 with php5, phpMyAdmin, and MySQL. I have uncommented the extension, I have checked my phpinfo() and mysqli does not come up. My config directory is where it should be and it still will not load.

Answer 1

1. Find out which php.ini is used.

2. In file php.ini this line:

   extension=mysqli
   

3. Replace by:

   extension="C:phpextphp_mysqli.dll"
   

4. Restart apache
