The MySQLi Extension Is Missing. Please Check Your PHP Configuration

Error in phpmyadmin - `mysqli extension is missing`

If you change some configuration and haven't remove it in reinstall, then didn't help. Follow this command to clear old configs:

sudo apt purge php7.2-* phpmyadmin

After removed, reinstall packages:

sudo apt install apache2 php7.2 php7.2-mysql # Add other dependent if you need ...

Now, mysqli should exists in /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/20-mysqli.ini:

$ cat /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/mysqli.ini
; configuration for php mysql module
; priority=20
extension=mysqli.so

If you using FPM, should have a soft link in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration , even though file is available in defined path

In your php.ini file set the extension_dir to C:/Program Files (x86)/php/ext then change the extension values to simply the name of the extension.

extension_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/php/ext"

extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_intl.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_soap.dll
extension=php_xmlrpc.dll

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration, Windows 7

Please make sure the extension=mysqli.dll isn't commented out into php.ini.

Also make sure that you have the mysqli.dll files exist inside the extensions folder of your php installation.

Extension mysqli is missing, phpmyadmin doesn't work

Latest phpMyAdmin versions require mysqli extension and will no longer work with mysql one (note the extra "i" at the end of its name).

For PHP 7.3

sudo apt-get install php7.3-mysqli

For PHP 8

sudo apt-get install php8.0-mysqli

Will install package containing both old one and the new one, so afterwards all you need to do is to add

extension=mysqli.so

in your php.ini, under the subject Dynamic Extensions.

Restart apache:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Authenticate if needed and press enter.

Should be done! If problem still occurs remove the browser cache.
