PHP PDO - 看不到可用的驱动程序

Question

I am new to php pdo and I have to connect to MySQL driver but when I try to see which driver is available with

print_r(PDO::getAvailableDrivers())

returns empty array.What I have to do to see that MySQL driver is available?

Answer 1

I encountered a similar issue before, PDO return error message Could not find driver , but when I check, PDO is working fine, but has empty available drivers.

Later, I found out that the solution to my issue is, change the c:\php path in the system environment to c:\xampp\php . You might save your PHP or XAMPP in a different location, but you get the idea.

The thing is, before I use phpMyAdmin , I already installed a PHP on my computer, and set the system path to this PHP. But later I install XAMPP because I wanna use MySQL , but my system environment still runs PHP code through the old PHP path. After changing the path, the problem solved.
