phpmyadmin problem

Post by phpBrandNew »

Hi,
I already installed phpMyAdmin, but when I place this :http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ in the browser, I got this in browser :https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4UYFQD ... sp=sharing. Where did I do wrong ?

Thanks for help.

Hi,
I have tried many ways searching the web on how to install PHP, but still could not get it done. May I know where can I get the right source of installing PHP ?

Start here. Or you can find yourself a package deal, like WAMP or XAMPP.

I have already got my PHP in hand.
However, I have an error with phpMyAdmin. I have this error when I place this in browser - http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.


error:

phpMyAdmin - Error
The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img src="themes/dot.gif" title="Documentation" alt="Documentation" class="icon ic_b_help" /></a>

Hope this can be solved.

Yes. I click mysqli. Same error occur.
I found this somewhere, but I do not know how to do and no sure whether it will work :

[If you run PHPMyAdmin on localhost uncomment in file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini this line:

mysqli.allow_local_infile = On

Restart Apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Thanks for this. This solution is used when the MySQLi extension is properly installed, but phpMyAdmin is running on localhost. – PolishHurricane May 1 at 17:47]

Actually it seems more that you don't have mysqli installed at all, while that answer is about enabling a setting for mysqli.

Find your php.ini and uncomment the line that looks like

Code: Select all

;extension = php_mysqli.dll
Then restart Apache.

Enabling all the extensions is not a good idea. In fact I'll just say it's a bad idea. Enable only the ones you actually need and use.

That aside, it does look like the extension should be loading. What does phpinfo() say about the loaded extensions?

Hello,
First you have to install PHP properly and check it again.If the same error occurs then check that your browser is compatible with php version or not.

mysqli isn't enabled.
Configuration File (php.ini) Path

C:\WINDOWS
Are you editing C:\WINDOWS\php.ini? Because that's the file you have to edit.
