Why does this problem exist? mysqli not working

[Mark1954]

Hi Everyone,
The last fix work good. Now I have this one. Here is the line from the code

Code: Select all

 $mysqli = new mysqli('mySQL', 'root', 'P!r2ed40');

I am using PH 8 on Windows 11. the mysqli extension does not have a semicolon.
I don't know what else to do your help is appreciated.

What is the error message?

[Mark1954]

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "mysqli" not found in C:\Apache24\htdocs\Joy\createdb.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\Apache24\htdocs\Joy\createdb.php on line 6

Try uncommenting this line in your configuration file, and ensure the path is correct:

extension_dir = "C:\software\php\dist\ext"

Benjamin,
I'm not sure where you want me to direct the externsion_dir. If it is to my php dir. the I have php 8/*. Can you be more specific?

[Mark1954]

actually it is c:\php 8

[Mark1954]

I think I got it right. The extension_dir. But it didn't work.

maybe add another parameter 'bin'
