WampServer

Hi everyone, my s/w details are as following:

Windows 7, 64 bit
Wamp server version 2.5
Apache/2.4.9 (Win64)
PHP version: 5.5.12
MySQL Version : 5.6.17

I upgraded my PHP version to 5.6.3. I used Thread Safe build. I made the required changes like copying wampserver.conf file, copying file php.ini_development twice, making some change to the php.ini files to WAMPise them.
Now the newly upgraded version of PHP was working very good on Apache and in command line. All the programs were being executed without any error. Then I tried to work on Mysql. When I tried to execute a program, it was giving an error message "could not find driver"..But when I switched to my previous PHP version i.e. 5.5.12 then the mysql was working good and it connected to database.
Now please help me so that I can connect my newly upgraded PHP version to Mysql.
Thanks

Hi Dalvinder,

I guess you must have missed something !

What mysql extension are you using? mysql_* or mysqli_* or PDO

Hi RiggsFolly, I am using PDO..
Thanks

Please cheave the following PHP extensions activated

php_mysqli
php_mysql

Also check that yu added the default port number to this parameter.

mysql.default_port = 3306

If this does not work, then you had better post yout whole phpForApache.ini file

Dear RiggsFolly, I am unable to post my whole phpforapache.ini file because it is saying to shorten the message. please tell me
mysql.default_port = 3306 should be changed in phpforapache.ini only or in php.ini also...and how can i activate the extensions php_mysqli and
php_mysql
I can email you my whole phpforapache.ini file.
Thanks

mysql.default_port = 3306 should be added to both ini files.

Activate extensions using the wampmanager menus

wampmanager -> PHP -> Extensions -> click the extension you want to activate if it is not ticked
