Unable to view mysql/mysqli under phpinfo()

[gkw1975]

Hi there,

 

I'm new to all this so I've been following instructions from various sites and books.  So far I have installed Apache, PHP and mysql, however when I browse to localhost/test.php (created to view phpinfo() through the browser) i can't see mysql or mysqli only the mysqlnd.

 

Here is an overview of software I've installed, OS and things I've added so far;

 

OS ver Windows7 Professional 32-bit VM

Apache ver 2.2.25-win32

PHP ver - 5.4.31 Win32 VC9

Mysql - 5.6.19

 

Ammended httpd.conf to include;

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

PHPIniDir "C:/php"

 

Ammended php.ini file to include;

extension=php_mysql.dll

extension=php_mysqli.dll

extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

 

added following to system variable PATH;

c:\php

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib (- this was for libmysql.lib)

 

Renamed my-default.ini to my.ini within C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\

 

phpinfo() shows Configuration File (php.ini) Path as C:\Windows & Loaded configuration file as C:\php\php.ini

 

Changed the "/" in LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" & PHPIniDir "C:/php" to "\" but this did not make any difference.

 

After every change I either stop/start both Apache2.2 & Mysql5.6 services or reboot the VM, but phpinf0() still only shows mysqlnd but not mysql or mysqli.

 

I'm at a loss now as researching it only seems to bring up links repeating everything I have already tried.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

check your web server error log to see if there is more information.

 

i suspect a permission problem for the folder(s), i.e. the user the web server is running under doesn't have permission to access the needed folders.

The only thing I can suggest is for you to set the extension_dir directive to the full path to your PHP extension folder, eg

 

 extension_dir = "C:/php/ext"

 

Also enable these directives

display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On

If PHP is having issues loading extensions it should pop up an error dialog when Apache is (re)started.
