Laravel: PDOException: could not find driver

You might need to comment out the following in your php.ini file.

;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Taken from this post:
Laravel 5 PDOException Could Not Find Driver
. I think I had to do something exactly like this when setting up laravel on digital ocean.

php - PDOException could not find driver

Remove the ; from before the ;extension=php_pdo.dll. And also from before other pdo extensions. If you want to use those. And then restart the server.

The ; actually comments a line in ini files. So, you have to un-comment those lines to use them.

Edit: Instead of going through all of this trouble, you can instead use Xampp or Wamp or EasyPHP or something.

Laravel 5 PDOException Could Not Find Driver

You should install PDO on your server.
Edit your php.ini (look at your phpinfo(), "Loaded Configuration File" line, to find the php.ini file path).
Find and uncomment the following line (remove the ; character):

;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Then, restart your Apache server.
For more information, please read the documentation.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver

To use different drivers you need to install them.

On Windows you simply uncomment a line in php.ini:

extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

On Debian or similar Linux distribution you can just install the extension with the package manager:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install php7.1-mysql

Remember to install the correct version.

Finally was able to figure it out my self. While changing configuration in php.ini file which is in xampp folder I also modified the file in php installed location .ini file. reverting back the changes worked.

PDOException “could not find driver” in php

Hope you are running your project in localhost. In your project folder app/config a file named parameters.ini , Make sure that your Mysql database connection cofiguration is correct. If you are using mysql See database_driver=pdo_mysql is its driver.

Below is an example.

database_driver   = pdo_mysql
    database_host     = localhost
    database_port     =
    database_name     = databasename
    database_user     = msqlusername
    database_password = mysqlpassword//if not make blank

    mailer_transport  = smtp
    mailer_host       = localhost
    mailer_user       =
    mailer_password   =

    locale            = en

    secret            = ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

Hope it helps you.

Eclipse: PDO could not find driver even though it's installed and enabled

Its not about php.ini or anything related to that matter. You do not need to install anything or turn on stuff related to PDO when it comes to XAMPP, its installed and turned on already.

It's just you're not putting in the correct driver on the dsn:

$dns = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=DataBase";

Just follow the format, no need for anything fancy.

mysql : dbname =DataBase; localhost
     ^ ^ // why do you need a space? what for?
