  • What OS are you using? This is telling you that you don't have a (my)SQL driver installed in PHP Commented Apr 11, 2020 at 8:21
  • Windows (10) - OS Commented Apr 11, 2020 at 8:23
  • There can be multiple reasons for this. Are you added credentials properly ? please check stackoverflow.com/questions/54124262/… also Commented Apr 11, 2020 at 8:26

In your php.ini configuration file simply uncomment (remove semicolon) the extension:

;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

And restart the server.

Following up from the other answer, if you uncommented

extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

and it still doesn't work, uncomment the following also:

extension=pdo_sqlite

this is required if you use sqlite as your database instead of mysql
