🚨 PDO MySQL Extension Required

Problem: PDO MySQL driver not found

Your PHP installation is missing the PDO MySQL extension. This is required for database connectivity.

✅ Solution: Enable PDO MySQL Extension

You need to uncomment extension=pdo_mysql in your php.ini file:

  1. Open php.ini file: C:\Program Files\php-8.1.33\php.ini (run as administrator)
  2. Find the line: ;extension=pdo_mysql
  3. Uncomment it: Remove the semicolon to make it extension=pdo_mysql
  4. Save the file
  5. Restart your web server (Apache/Nginx/IIS)

Alternative Quick Fix:

If you can't modify php.ini, you can try running this in your browser:
