phpMyAdmin "Unable to load MySQL extensions, please check the PHP configuration" workaround
After configuring the running environment of PHP and installing the MySQL database, you can learn how PHP interacts with MySQL in the following.
Since MySQL is a database, it is essential to establish databases, tables, fields and other operations (the illusion that we use the asp+access case), however, for MySQL database, in our default installation is not a visual interface to operate MySQL, So we often use phpMyAdmin to operate the MySQL database.
However, with the use of the "PHP 5.2.3 Installer" Installation version, when we apply to phpMyAdmin, the page appears "Unable to load MySQL extensions, please check the PHP configuration" prompts.
1, first, we'll check the PHP configuration file php.ini
Open the directory of PHP installed php.ini file, ctrl+f search "Php_mysql.dll", will "; Extension=php_mysql.dll" before ";" Delete to uncomment, and search for and modify the folder where the value of "Extension_dir" is the "Php_mysql.dll" file. That
Extension_dir = "D:\PHP\ext\"
Extension=php_mysql.dll
2, however, the installation version used through this page is not saved the PHP extension DLL file ext folder, so there is no php_mysql.dll, we run phpMyAdmin of course there will be problems
Continue to open http://www.php.net/downloads.php Select the "PHP 5.2.3 Zip Package" Compression package file, the Ext folder in which all of the folders are unzipped to the installation directory of PHP, so have a extension_dir = "D : \php\ext\ "(Note: If your PHP is installed in D disk)
3, the completion of the php.ini file changes and contains Php_mysql.dll Ext folder Add, it is recommended to restart the computer, and then debug phpMyAdmin
4, of course, for the phpMyAdmin folder in the config.inc.php file for MySQL account and password changes.
In addition, the network search for the next issue related to the solution, and some solutions also need to "php.ini files and Php_mysql.dll copy to the c:/windows and C:/windows/system32 directory", which is because PHP is not installed version, The general installation version is not needed, you can select "Environment variable" in the "My Computer" attribute "advanced" to view the system variable "path" which indicates the installation path of PHP.
