Php – Fatal error: Class ‘MySQLi’ not found on windows

MySQLmysqliPHP

I installed apache and php and have it up and running (I can access the php.ini via localhost). I'm trying to access mysqli code and cannot find it. The following script indicates mysqli doesn't exist.

if (!function_exists('mysqli_init') && !extension_loaded('mysqli')) {
    echo 'We don\'t have mysqli!!!';
} else {
    echo 'Phew we have it!';
}

I already modified the php.ini file to uncomment extension=php_mysqli.dll as well as the windows extension_dir (extension_dir = "ext")

php is located in c:/php

I had to change the extension_dir = "ext" to "c:/php/ext"

Php – find php.ini

On the command line execute:

php --ini

You will get something like:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed:      /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/curl.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/pdo_sqlite.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/sqlite.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/sqlite3.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xsl.ini

That's from my local dev-machine. However, the second line is the interesting one. If there is nothing mentioned, have a look at the first one. That is the path, where PHP looks for the php.ini file.

You can grep the same information using phpinfo() in a script and call it with a browser. It’s mentioned in the first block of the output. php -i does the same for the command line, but it’s quite uncomfortable.
