I can MySQLi directive meaning it is supported. Anyway you know use PDO for now. else something could be wrong with MySQLi drivers. More so is your MySQL server on?

Yes, it is on

Akiliogidi:

Yes, it is on

Try PDO and if it works it means your PHP MySQLi driver is faulty of something is wrong

Hello guys, so I was wondering if there is any way I can build a full functional website with front and backend programming languages, and host it on my laptop without launching it online.


Like, I mean the website will just be functional only on my laptop.


If I register a user, it will store in my laptop and I will be entirely in control of the website without going online.

Cc stanliwise and co

XAMPP can do this. It has a server and database

Abeg I need your help alongside other pHp gurus here. I recently installed the latest php version, but each time I try running a db connection I do encounter Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'mysqli' not found in C:\xampp\hotdocs. I use vs code and I have followed all the suggestions I came across online(stackoverflow inclusive) all to no avail. Abeg can you tell me how to go about fixing this problem.

I'm not a php developer, but my guesses are,
*Your MySQL server isn't running
*Your trying to connect to a MySQL hosted on another system (webhosts that provide MySQL), there is usually a firewall preventing external access for free users.
*A bracket isn't closed, or a semicolon is missing.

Cheers, Adriel.

The first warning means you've set up a password for root access, you have to input your password.

@squash47 how far with the problem?

I have been able to rectify that and it runs successfully in browser , but in my visual basic code editor, it keep showing class 'mysqli' not found in C each time I run it from vs code.
I have edited all editable in the php.ini file by removing all the semicolons before the extensions and adding the absolute path like this : extension_dir =C:\php\ext[/b]and [b]extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mysqli.dll, yet i keep seeing the error as shown below

It seems mysqli libraries are not present, are you sure you've enabled the mysqli extension in the php.ini file? If you've done any code alteration on your php.ini file, you'll need to restart VS code before it detects it or better still, restart your machine.

Try "mysqli_connect()"

Also, how did you install php on your device?

It amazes me how people snap their screen with a mobile phone,
when windows itself has a prebuilt snipping tool that allows you to take
screenshots in full HD. Sad

Have you considered that he may have been posting with his phone on nairaland and only made more sense snapping with same phone?

While that maybe considered, for the sake of clarity, would you go to e.g. stackoverflow in search of an answer and post such an image like he did?
You know what's gonna happen, right?

but this isn't stack overflow.
irrespective of how fast an airplane is, it doesn't make sense boarding it to a town without airports.

Caramba !!!

I chop ban the other time but let me repeat that XAMPP, wamp and co made life hard until I switched to Laragon.


This problem is beyond me but I'm sure Laragon will solve it.
