PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver

Question

I have been trying to connect to MySQL from PHP using PDO. However, I get this error message:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find

Answer 1

In my PHP 7.4 I didn't get php.ini. Instead, I have php.ini-development and php.ini-production. So, I have created a new php.ini file only and copied the configurations into it.

Then I have uncommented and changed the extension directory to the full installation path.

 extension_dir = "C:/php/ext"

And uncommented:

 extension=pdo_mysql
