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.
Find out which php.ini is used.
In file php.ini this line:
extension=mysqli
Replace by:
extension="C:\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll"
Restart apache
If your configuration files are okay but still having the same issue then install php7.x-mysql according to the version of the installed php.
For example in my case, I'm using php7.3 so I ran the following command to get it all set:
sudo apt install php7.3-mysql
systemctl reload apache2
I know this is a while ago but I encountered this and followed the other answers here but to no avail, I found the solution via this question (Stackoverflow Question)
Essentially just needed to edit the php.ini file (mine was found at c:\xampp\php\php.ini) and uncomment these lines...
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
After restarting apache all was working as expected.
In your Xampp folder, open php.ini file inside the PHP folder i.e xampp\php\php.ini (with a text editor).
Search for extension=mysqli (Ctrl+F), if there are two, look for the one that has been uncommented (without ";" behind)
Change the mysqli with the correct path address i.e extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll.
On your Xampp control panel, stop and start apache and MySQL
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mysql
extension=mysqli.so (add this php.ini file)
sudo service apahce2 restart
Please use above commands to resolve mysqli-extension missing error
This article can help you Configuring PHP with MySQL for Apache 2 or IIS in Windows. Look at the section "Configure PHP and MySQL under Apache 2", point 3:
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions" ; FOR PHP 4 ONLY
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext" ; FOR PHP 5 ONLY
You must uncomment extension_dir param line and set it to absolute path to the PHP extensions directory.
Copy libmysql.dll from the PHP installation folder to the windows folder.
I've been searching for hours and no one could help me. I did a
simple thing to solve this problem. (WINDOWS 10 x64)
Follow this:
1 - Go to your php_mysqli.dll path (in my case: C:/xampp/php/ext);
2 - Move the php_mysqli.dll to the previous folder (C:/xampp/php);
3 - Open php.ini and search the line: "extension: php_mysqli.dll";
4 - Change to the path where is your file: extension="C:\xampp\php\php_mysqli.dll";
5 - Restart your application (wampp, xampp, etc.) and start Apache Server;
The problem was the path ext/php_mysqli.dll, I've tried changing the line to extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll" but doesn't worked.
Simply specify the directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside in the php.ini file from
; On windows:
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext"
to
; On windows:
;extension_dir = "ext"
Then enable the extension if it was disabled by changing
;extension=mysqli
to
extension=mysqli
I had the same problem and I solved it. You can solve it too if you follow these steps:
you have to install PHP to C:/php
or your current version locate it to this path and specify it as a system variable
then open xampp program and click config and open php.ini
and uncomment the following lines:
extension=pdo_mysql
extension=pdo_mysql
extension=openssl
I encountered this problem today and eventually I realize it was the comment on the line before the mysql dll's that was causing the problem.
This is what you should have in php.ini by default for PHP 5.5.16:
;extension=php_exif.dll Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
Besides removing the semi-colons, you also need to delete the line of comment that came after php_exif.dll. This leaves you with
extension=php_exif.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
This solves the problem in my case.
I simply copied my php_myslqli.dll file from ert folder back to php folder, and it worked for me after restarting my Apache and MySQL from the control Panel
Its an issue of extension directory. You need to change php extension directory manually to work this.
If you are using AMPP Server, do the following
Goto settings -> PHP -> Configuration
in php7.3.ini Find, (Versions might change)
extension_dir = "" , (Already having some path)
and change value to
extension_dir = "C:\Program Files\Ampps\php-7.3\ext"
If you are using XAMP
Goto XAMP Settings, Apache -> PHP.ini
Find, extension_dir = in php.ini, and set path of the php extension folder of your local machine. See the below example.
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" (Check your path properly)
In my case, I had a similar issue after full installation of Debian 10.
Commandline:
php -v show I am using php7.4 but print phpinfo() gives me php7.3
Solution: Disable php7.3 Enable php7.4
$ a2dismod php7.3
$ a2enmod php7.4
$ update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phar /usr/bin/phar7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phar.phar /usr/bin/phar.phar7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.4
$ update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.4
Replace
include_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\PEAR
with following
include_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\PEAR"
i.e Add commas , i checked apache error logs it was showing syntax error so checked whole file for syntax errors.
The thing that fixed my problem is: open php.ini then add this extension=php_mysqli.dll
try to change PHP version
$sudo update-alternatives --config php
if it didn't work
change for example from PHP 5.6 => PHP 7.1
$ sudo a2dismod php5.6
$ sudo a2enmod php7.1
$ sudo service apache2 restart

Whenever I try to enter my phpMyAdmin, it gives me this error:
The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
I've looked all over the Internet for a fix, but all I've found is errors similar to mine, but not the same, or the exact same but there was no fix given.
I am also using Windows.
In Centos I have installed a php extension.
I did this with:
yum install php-mbstring
Before sometime I also had the same problem. I have tried replacing the .dll file but no result. After some debugging I found the solution.
I had this in my php.ini file:
extension_dir = "ext"
And I'm getting mbstring extension missing error. So I tried putting the full path for the extension directory and it works for me. like:
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"
Hope this will help.
Cheers,
check your php.ini file in the root directory of your php installation. In the extensions part of the configuration you should find:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
remove the leading ';' to uncomment and enable the extension so it looks like this:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
restart your apache and it should work.
Edit: I just read that you are already using a webhost. Does your webhost have a interface where you can set php variables etc? Or a .ini file you can edit?
If not you may are forced to talk to the webhost and ask them to enable that particular extension.
My case was like this
Strangely, I noticed that the php.ini file that WAMP was using wasn't
the one in the php directory, but rather was referencing a php.ini
file in the bin directory... I copied my php.ini file to
wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin directory, restarted the wamp
services and PHPMyadmin was off and running...
Thanks I solved the problem
In Ubuntu Server I have installed a php extension.
I did this with:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
Another reason for this problem is Php version. When I changed the running PHP version to 7.0.0, problem has gone.
Ubuntu 15.10
1) sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
uncommited extension=php_mbstring.dll
2) sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring
3) restart apache2
install mbstring and restart your apache:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo service apache restart
then remove ; from your php.ini file:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
to
extension=php_mbstring.dll
If it still doesn't work..remove your php setup, without removing the databases from your phpmyadmin. Reinstall it.
NB: * if you want to remove all, all mention the one you need to.
sudo apt-get remove php*
Then install the php and modules of the php version that you need. here, php 7.1:
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-cli php7.1-common libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-fpm php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-bz2 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-json php7.1-tidy php7.1-mbstring php-redis php-memcached
restart your apache and check the php version.
sudo service apache restart
php -v
when all this is done, execute the following command to enable mbstring forcefully and restart your apache.
sudo phpenmod mbstring
sudo service apache restart
Hope it helps.
It did to me :)
I've solved my problem by this way:
Edit the php.ini file:
change extension_dir = "ext" into extension_dir = "D:\php\ext" （please write ur own full path for the extension directory）
change ;extension=php_mbstring.dll into extension=php_mbstring.dll （delete the ";"）
Then just save your php.ini file and copy it to ur Windows directory。(“C:\Windows“)
restart the apache server。
The above is my solution,Hope it will work for u.
Using xampp, this will work (php7 has been extracted to the xampp\php directory):
Make the following changes in the php.ini:
uncommend (remove the ;)
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
uncommend (remove the ;)
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
set the path to the extention Directory
extension_dir = "ext"
to the full path, for example:
extension_dir = "C:\xammp\php\ext"
Additional, change the xampp-settings in the httpd-xampp.conf:
change
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
to
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll"
change
LoadModule php5_module "C:/xampp/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
to
LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
change all appearance (3 times) of
IfModule php5_module

That's it.
I had this problem in the past with MAMP on a Windows machine.
Open MAMP start page and go to your current configuration of PHP (phpinfo).
Check the Configuration File (php.ini) PATH.
Mine was set to C:\Windows, where of course I had no PHP.ini file.
Either change the php.ini path to C:\MAMP\conf\php5.6.8 (or your php version conf path) or just copy php.ini to c:\windows.
after installing WAMP 3 with Apache 2.4.17 and php5.6.17 I tried to look at php.ini from wampserver (green icon in tray).
It wasn't finding it.
I copied php.ini from the php.5.6.15 directory to the apache2.4.17\bin\ directory
and phpmyadmin worked fine without missing mbstring
Solved it.
I tried all of the solutions above but it still did not work. I'm currently using WAMP to launch the mysql server. When I tried to open the "php.ini" file with the WAMP panel, it said that it did not exist and asked me to create a new "php.ini" in the location, "C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin". Once I created this new "php.ini" file, I located the existing "php.ini" file which was in the path "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15", and cloned it. I then pasted the clone in the previous path where it had asked me to create the "php.ini" file.
Hope this helped.
I just installed WAMP 3 on Windows 10 and had this issue.
I had to go to C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0\ and copy the php.ini file to C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\
Then I restarted WAMP, and was finally able to access my phpMyAdmin file.
Note: this is probably not the correct way to do this because now there are 2 php.ini files. There is probably a setting in an Apache file that points to the php.ini file, but I haven't seen that yet. I will update this if I find it.
Strangely, I noticed that the php.ini file that WAMP was using wasn't the one in the php directory, but rather was referencing a php.ini file in the bin directory... I copied my php.ini file to wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin directory, restarted the wamp services and PHPMyadmin was off and running...
In newer versions of PHP, "extension_dir" is not initially enabled.
In php's directory try change extension of configuration file (php.ini-development - default value of this file). I changed it to php.ini and phpmyadmin has worked.
The program can't start because php_mbstring.dll is missing from your computer. Try to fix it.
i use appserver to localhost and my server: C:/AppServ/www/dvd2/variables.php
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) PHP/5.2.6
To solve this problem on Linux, you need to recompile your PHP with the --enable-mbstring flag.
You might get this error message if you've just installed the phpmyadmin package but haven't restarted apache yet; try restarting apache.
Please uncomment the following lines at php.ini
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_exif.dll ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
This will help to solve.
The version of phpadmin you have installed is not compatible with the version of apache. Install the compatible version and you should be fine
I recently updated from PHP 5.4.44 to PHP 5.6.12 on my Windows 8.1 OS and got this phpMyAdmin missing mbstring error message.
After trying the above suggestions, none of which worked for me, I discovered version 5.4.44 placed the DLL extensions in the PHP root directory whereas version 5.6.12 placed them in the PHP\ext subdirectory.
All very fine except unfortunately someone forgot to change the php.ini accordingly. So two possible solutions:
Copy the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory into the PHP root directory, or
Edit the php.ini file to call all the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory.
I chose the easier first and phpMyAdmin now works fine.
Depending on you OS, you might need to install additional packets, e.g. php5-mbstring in SLES Linux.
I check phpinfo() and look for this line:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows
And I copy php.ini from C:\xampp\php to the folder and it works for me.
I had the same problem, the above solutions are not worked for me.
What I did is uninstalled the wamp and logout the Skype and re-installed wamp.
Then It got worked. I think the port used by wamp and Skype is same.
Hope this input will help.
Cheers :)
my solution : Copy a shortcut from your php.ini from your php-directory to the apache-dir. This way you refere too 1 file on the correct place. This solved (at least in my case) the problem.
just copy the php.ini file from C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin and then again restart apache server..
it will work fine.
My solution:
I had wamp x32 installed before, needed to remove and then installed the x64, receiving the same message "The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.".
On php.ini, all references to wamp, such as extension_dir = were pointing to "C:/Program Files/Wamp/...". Check all paths, the correct for me is "C:/Wamp64/". Restart services and it's all right now.
The installation process adds the phpMyAdmin Apache configuration file into the /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ directory, where it is read automatically. The only thing you need to do is explicitly enable the mbstring PHP extension, Because sometimes you forgot to enable the mbstring mode so simply type the below command to enabled the mbstring mode...
sudo phpenmod mbstring
Afterward, restart Apache for your changes to be recognized:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
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.
Find out which php.ini is used.
In file php.ini this line:
extension=mysqli
Replace by:
extension="C:\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll"
Restart apache
If your configuration files are okay but still having the same issue then install php7.x-mysql according to the version of the installed php.
For example in my case, I'm using php7.3 so I ran the following command to get it all set:
sudo apt install php7.3-mysql
systemctl reload apache2
I know this is a while ago but I encountered this and followed the other answers here but to no avail, I found the solution via this question (Stackoverflow Question)
Essentially just needed to edit the php.ini file (mine was found at c:\xampp\php\php.ini) and uncomment these lines...
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
After restarting apache all was working as expected.
In your Xampp folder, open php.ini file inside the PHP folder i.e xampp\php\php.ini (with a text editor).
Search for extension=mysqli (Ctrl+F), if there are two, look for the one that has been uncommented (without ";" behind)
Change the mysqli with the correct path address i.e extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll.
On your Xampp control panel, stop and start apache and MySQL
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mysql
extension=mysqli.so (add this php.ini file)
sudo service apahce2 restart
Please use above commands to resolve mysqli-extension missing error
This article can help you Configuring PHP with MySQL for Apache 2 or IIS in Windows. Look at the section "Configure PHP and MySQL under Apache 2", point 3:
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions" ; FOR PHP 4 ONLY
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext" ; FOR PHP 5 ONLY
You must uncomment extension_dir param line and set it to absolute path to the PHP extensions directory.
Copy libmysql.dll from the PHP installation folder to the windows folder.
I've been searching for hours and no one could help me. I did a
simple thing to solve this problem. (WINDOWS 10 x64)
Follow this:
1 - Go to your php_mysqli.dll path (in my case: C:/xampp/php/ext);
2 - Move the php_mysqli.dll to the previous folder (C:/xampp/php);
3 - Open php.ini and search the line: "extension: php_mysqli.dll";
4 - Change to the path where is your file: extension="C:\xampp\php\php_mysqli.dll";
5 - Restart your application (wampp, xampp, etc.) and start Apache Server;
The problem was the path ext/php_mysqli.dll, I've tried changing the line to extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll" but doesn't worked.
Simply specify the directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside in the php.ini file from
; On windows:
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext"
to
; On windows:
;extension_dir = "ext"
Then enable the extension if it was disabled by changing
;extension=mysqli
to
extension=mysqli
I had the same problem and I solved it. You can solve it too if you follow these steps:
you have to install PHP to C:/php
or your current version locate it to this path and specify it as a system variable
then open xampp program and click config and open php.ini
and uncomment the following lines:
extension=pdo_mysql
extension=pdo_mysql
extension=openssl
I encountered this problem today and eventually I realize it was the comment on the line before the mysql dll's that was causing the problem.
This is what you should have in php.ini by default for PHP 5.5.16:
;extension=php_exif.dll Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
Besides removing the semi-colons, you also need to delete the line of comment that came after php_exif.dll. This leaves you with
extension=php_exif.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
This solves the problem in my case.
I simply copied my php_myslqli.dll file from ert folder back to php folder, and it worked for me after restarting my Apache and MySQL from the control Panel
Its an issue of extension directory. You need to change php extension directory manually to work this.
If you are using AMPP Server, do the following
Goto settings -> PHP -> Configuration
in php7.3.ini Find, (Versions might change)
extension_dir = "" , (Already having some path)
and change value to
extension_dir = "C:\Program Files\Ampps\php-7.3\ext"
If you are using XAMP
Goto XAMP Settings, Apache -> PHP.ini
Find, extension_dir = in php.ini, and set path of the php extension folder of your local machine. See the below example.
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" (Check your path properly)
In my case, I had a similar issue after full installation of Debian 10.
Commandline:
php -v show I am using php7.4 but print phpinfo() gives me php7.3
Solution: Disable php7.3 Enable php7.4
$ a2dismod php7.3
$ a2enmod php7.4
$ update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phar /usr/bin/phar7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phar.phar /usr/bin/phar.phar7.4
$ update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.4
$ update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.4
Replace
include_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\PEAR
with following
include_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\PEAR"
i.e Add commas , i checked apache error logs it was showing syntax error so checked whole file for syntax errors.
The thing that fixed my problem is: open php.ini then add this extension=php_mysqli.dll
try to change PHP version
$sudo update-alternatives --config php
if it didn't work
change for example from PHP 5.6 => PHP 7.1
$ sudo a2dismod php5.6
$ sudo a2enmod php7.1
$ sudo service apache2 restart
