When I use phpinfo(), I don't see a table starting with MySQLi. I do see a table for mysqlnd, but I'm not sure what that is. However, when I go to command line and type php -m mysqli is there. mysqli_connect() fails, so it appears that its not actually installed.
MySQL 5.6 is installed. My PHP version is 5.5.8 on Apache 2.4.7 for Windows.
PHP is installed in C:\php, extension_dir = "ext", enabled php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll, so I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Have I missed a step somewhere?
I had the same problem. As I see, it doesn't load when the path is relative. Try with absolute path, e.g.
extension_dir="C:/php/ext"
It worked for me!
The absolute path is needed apache and php are installed in different drives! And also, you'll need to restart apache server after making changes to php.ini.

I'm installing PHP, Apache and PostgreSQL Manually
PHP and Apache now is connected, but PostgreSQL is not connected to PHP.
i test by using phpinfo();
i also configure in php.ini like this :
extension=php_pgsql.dll
extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
But why it's not work.
Thanks
This tutorial worked for me:
The PHP extension will look for libpq.dll which is found of your
PostgreSQL installation. The simple fix is to add the path than
contains that file to your environment PATH.
I had the same issue with PHP7 and Apache 2.4 on Windows 10. For me the solution was to add the following line to httpd.conf;
LoadFile "C:/php7/libpq.dll"
This also means that it's not required to have PostgreSQL installed if you just want to connect a PostgreSQL database that's not running on your machine.
1) Installing PostgreSQL for Windows
2) add to your enviroment variable "PATH" the bin folder of PostgreSQL installation:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\bin; (for example)
Assuming you have installed PostgreSQL and your WAMP installation is on c:\wamp, you will need to copy
c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9\libpq.dll to c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin
Make sure you also have the following files
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9\ext\php_pdo_pgsql.dll and
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9\ext\php_pgsql.dll
Also, make sure you have enabled the above 2 files as extensions, either via the WAMP menu (click on WAMP icon on taskbar, PHP, PHPExtensions, find the above 2 and 'check' them)
Please note that php5.3.9 and Apache2.2.11 refer to my specific PHP and Apache versions.
Adjust those to suit your installation.
That's it!
This worked for me on Windows:
Found php.ini in php folder.
Found this line and removed “;”.
;extension=php_pgsql.dll
in my case there are 2 php.ini, I had to uncomment extension pdo_pgsql in both php.ini
in php folder
in apache folder
both inside in wamp folder
If you are using PHP in IIS, using PHP Manager, enable this extension:
php_pgsql.dll
I have installed MAMP 3.5 with Apache 2.4.16 on Yosemite 10.10.5 and have run into some obstacles that I find hard to solve.
The first issue was that virtual host settings have changed in Apache but that I managed to fix.
The remaining problem is with extensions. I use gettext in an application and it can not be found.
php -v says PHP 5.6.10 (cli)
phpinfo() says PHP 5.5.27
php --ini says /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/conf/php.ini
The php.ini path seems to be correct although phpinfo() says that extension_dir is /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212
This seems very strange to me? The gettext extension is not in this directory but is found along with all other relevant extensions in the directory listed in the php.ini file for PHP 5.6.10 which is the one that should be used...
Any ideas what has gone wrong and how I can make PHP use the correct ini file?
CLI uses the installed version of OSX, MAMP uses it's own version.
The easiest way to use same version for both is to add the MAMP version first in your path in ~/.bash_profile.
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/:~/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
of course you need to replace the php7.0.0 part with the version you want to use.
Quit your terminal app and reopen it, and try php -v again.
I have been trying for a very long time to try and get mySql set up with php. The php install definitely works, and when I call phpInfo() I can see that my extension directory is being set.
When I uncomment the lines:
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
I get an error when I try to restart my apache web service:
Windows could not start the Apache2.2 service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
I am not sure what to do, I have search for answers almost everywhere and have not found a solution. Any thoughts?
Here is what I have setup:
Apache 2.2,
PHP 5.2.17 (V6),
MySql 5.5
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" (I have tried just "ext" and adding trailing "\" and no luck)
I have C:/php set up as an environment variable - as I stated earlier, php is working but I just can't get MySql setup.
I double checked all of those, but those did not fix it.
FIXED IT:
I ended up deleting my install of php and reinstalling the thread safe V6 version and it fixed my problem.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Try copying your current libmysql.dll to C:\Windows\system32 (you should find it in the php root folder). This is quite often the reason for failing php/MySql installations on Windows.
Make sure your Path environmental variable has C:\php\ext in it. If you add it in, reboot.
Try starting Apache from the command line to get the specific error message:
httpd -k start
...and check Apache's error.log file.
Do a system search for php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll. If you have either one in your C:\Windows or C:\Windows\system32 directory, delete those files.
I cannot install PHP-CURL on IIS. I think I have tried everything.
My phpinfo() output does not list cURL as available.
I have C:\PHP in my path and working correctly.
I have edited the registry to read from C:\PHP\php.ini. phpinfo() output shows the correct .ini path loaded.
I have uncommented 'extension=php_curl.dll'
I have ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll availble in C:\PHP
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6
PHP 5.2.4
Try running:
php-cgi.exe -v
and see if any errors come up.
Also make sure the php is correctly in your path by going to the command line and typing:
echo %PATH%
As well make sure the php_curl.dll is in the correct directory and that ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll are the same versions.
If all else fails try reinstalling PHP as I remember there being some issues a while back with the Curl Module not working on 5.1.4.
As well someone else mentioned installing the thread safe PHP package versus the non-thread package resolving a similar issue.
Did you definitely put php_curl.dll in the directory that PHP reads extensions from? Are the file permissions on it ok? And the big question: where did you get the php_curl.dll from? If you got a precompiled one it might be compiled for a different version of PHP than you are running. Check your webserver logs and see what comes up from PHP when you restart the server/container/whatever.
I am having apache 2.2.14, php 5.3.1 and mysql 5.1.43 installed on vista. I am trying since 2 days to configure php to have mysql enable on phpinfo().
I modified php.ini to have extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"
modified the extension as extension="php_mysql.dll"
added "c:\php" to the "PATH" environment variable and restarted the vista.
after trying many combinations of putting php.ini, php_mysql.dll and libmysql.dll in c drive and/or c:/windows and/or c:/windows/system32 now I am with no options!!
I do restart the apache after each modification. I used libmysql.dll present in mysql installation and that of older php version as php 5.3.1 has no libmysql.dll...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You have to edit php.ini and add/uncomment a line to import the php_mysql.dll extention. Search for ;extention=php_mysql.dll and remove the ;. If you find this line without the ; in front of it, you have another problem. If you don't find this line, add it without the ;.
You can also try to put a \ after the extention path: extension_dir="c:\php\ext\"
put php_mysql.dll in the "c:\php\ext" directory (and keep the extension="php_mysql.dll" uncommented [without the leading ;])
Make sure you've edited the right php.ini. In case of doubt
<?php echo 'ini= "', get_cfg_var('cfg_file_path'), '"';
will tell you which one is used by your php installation.
Maybe php tried to load the php-mysql extension and failed because of additional dependencies. That would cause a startup error entry in the error.log.
Which php-build do you use? The php-mysql extension can either use libmysql.dll as transport layer or the new mysqlnd (MySQL native driver) module. You've added c:\php to PATH. That's usually done in order to let windows find libmysql.dll (though it's not necessary, there are other methods which I prefer). If php-mysql depends on libmysql.dll and windows can't find it loading php_mysql.dll will fail.
But if you're using the php.net build of php 5.3.1 the mysql module uses mysqlnd:
Installation on Windows
In the official PHP distributions from 5.3 onwards, MySQL Native Driver is enabled by defaultThis module is built-in in the php.net build. You can test that by calling php -m in a command shell. It prints all built-in modules.
Thanks a lot to the user who said that we have to move the file php.ini to the folder /bin of the Apache server. it resolves me the same problem after more than one week of trying failed methods.
Of course we must uncomment in the file the two lines;
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extensin_dir="ext"
by removing the semi-colon (;) and by specifying the full path for the extension library php_mysql.dll rather than ext as follows
extension=php_mysql.dll
extensin_dir="c:\Apache22\php53\ext"
For me I installed Apache in the folder c:\Apache22 and PHP in the folder c:\Apache22\php53, you must use your own values.
NOTE: Because mysql_ functions like mysql_connect() become deprecated in PHP 5.5 and above, it is recommended to enable also the library php_mysqli.dll to use functions like mysqli_ (improved version of mysql_ functions). To do that it is simple, you just have to uncomment the line:
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
in the file PHP.ini as follows:
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Update April 7, 2013. Installed Windows 8 on an i7 Quad, HT 8, 3.62GHz, 12GBRAM.. Installed the latest version of MySQL, got it functioning properly. Installed the latest version of Apache Web Server, got it functioning properly. Installed the latest version of PHP, got it functioning properly. MySQL could not connect to the database. The error message was "mysql_connect function undefined". I copied the modified php.ini file into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin", and restarted Apache web server... then it all magically started working.!!! I hope this helps somebody with setting up their own Windows MySQL / PHP web server.
