I am not able to see the MySQLi extension using phpinfo() either. How can I enable/install MySQLi extension in PHP 7?

That's why I cannot use phpMyAdmin. It says "The mysqli extension is missing."

Answer 1

The problem is that the package that used to connect PHP to MySQL is deprecated (php5-mysql). If you install the new package,

sudo apt-get install php-mysql

this will automatically update Apache and PHP 7.

Answer 2

I got the solution. I am able to enable MySQLi extension in php.ini. I just uncommented this line in php.ini:

extension=php_mysqli.dll

Now MySQLi is working well. Here is the php.ini file path in an Apache 2, PHP 7, and Ubuntu 14.04 environment:

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

By default, the MySQLi extension is disabled in PHP 7.

Answer 3

sudo phpenmod mysqli
sudo service apache2 restart

---

• phpenmod moduleName enables a module to PHP 7 (restart Apache after that sudo service apache2 restart )
• phpdismod moduleName disables a module to PHP 7 (restart Apache after that sudo service apache2 restart )
• php -m lists the loaded modules

Answer 4

On Ubuntu, when mysqli is missing, execute the following,

sudo apt-get install php7.x-mysqli

sudo service apache2 restart

Replace 7.x with your PHP version.

Note: This could be 7.0 and up, but for example Drupal recommends PHP 7.2 on grounds of security among others.

To check your PHP version, on the command-line type:

php -v

You do exactly the same if you are missing mbstring:

apt-get install php7.x-mbstring

service apache2 restart

I recently had to do this for phpMyAdmin when upgrading PHP from 7.0 to 7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus).

Answer 5

For all docker users, just run docker-php-ext-install mysqli from inside your php container.

Update: More information on https://hub.docker.com/_/php in the section "How to install more PHP extensions".

Answer 6

在 Ubuntu 中，您需要在位于/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini的文件php.ini中取消注释此行：

extension=php_mysqli.so

Answer 7

In case of docker after installing the mysqli as per Speedy's answer above docker-php-ext-install mysqli you should restart the the fpm as per this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/43076457/932473

From inside container

kill -USR2 1

Answer 8

Let's use

mysqli_connect

instead of

mysql_connect

because mysql_connect isn't supported in PHP 7 .
