WAMP installed fine, no problems, BUT...
When going to phpMyAdmin, I get the error from phpMyAdmin as follows:
Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration
Also, phpMyAdmin documentation explains this error message as follows:
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar.
Finally, the apache_error.log file has the following PHP warnings (see the mySQL warning):
PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Platform does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Platform in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Debug Server does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Debug Server in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: gd wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of gd wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: java wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of java wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: mysql wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of mysql wrapper in Unknown on line 0
So, for some reason PHP is not recognizing the mysql extension.
Anyone know why? Any solution or workaround?
Check if MySQLi is Installed You can do that by visiting a phpinfo() page that you made, or by running this command: php -m | grep mysqli.
Installing MySQL on Windows Simply download the installer package, unzip it anywhere, and run setup.exe. Default installer setup.exe will walk you through the trivial process and by default will install everything under C:\mysql.
I deleted the PHP in program files ad everything started working , the problem that there two installations of pHp
