Php – MySQLi Extension with phpMyAdmin

PHP

I just unpacked the latest phpMyAdmin into /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin and it is giving me "The mysqli extension is missing." – how do I install this? I'm on Centos. I checked php.ini and it seems to be "unlocked".

when I type in php -i |grep -i mysqli … it looks to be enabled. Also this is PHP Version 5.3.8

php -m 

apc
ctype
curl
date
dom
filter
ftp
gd
hash
iconv
json
libxml
mcrypt
memcache
mysql
mysqli
openssl
pcre
PDO
pdo_sqlite
posix
REflection
session
SimpleXML
soap
SPL
SQLite
standard
tokenizer
xml
xmlreader
xmlwriter
zlib

Thanks.

Centos – How to install APC and Memcache on CentOS WITHOUT installing the PHP package

Your custom-compiled PHP should have installed pecl, and configured it properly.

Have you tried running "pecl install apc"?

If your system is not finding pecl, it's probable that you used some funny --prefix when you ./configure'd PHP.

For instance, if you compiled php like this:

$ ./configure --prefix=/foo
$ make
# make install

then you'll either want to get /foo/bin into $PATH, or you could just run

$ /foo/bin/pecl install apc

EDIT: Now I remember: try pecl install apc-beta. Something is screwy with 5.3.3 and non-beta APC. My experience is apc-beta works fine.
