PHP 7 RC3: How to install missing MySQL PDO
I am trying to setup webserver with PHP 7 RC3 + Nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 (for test purposes).
I installed Ubuntu in Vagrant using ubuntu/trusty64 and PHP 7 RC 3 from Ondřej Surý (https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php-7.0).
I can not find the way to install MySQL PDO (PHP sees PDO class but not anything related to MySQL, like PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_DIRECT_QUERY etc.)
Looks like there is no lib php7.0-mysql (by analogy with standard php5-mysqlnd and php7.0-fpm etc. from Ondřej)
Section PDO in phpinfo():
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers no value
How can I get it?
Answer
For thoses running Linux with apache2 you need to install php-mysql
apt-get install php-mysql
or if you are running ubuntu 16.04 or higher just running the following command will be enought, no need to edit your php.ini file
apt-get install php7.2-mysql
If you are running ubuntu 15.10 or below:
Edit your php.ini file, it's located at /etc/php/[version]/apache2/php.ini and search for pdo_mysql
you might found something like this
;extension=pdo_mysql.so
Change it to this
extension=pdo_mysql.so
Save the file and restart apache
service apache2 restart
Check that it's available in your phpinfo()
