pdo_mysql php extension error?

[ou7l4w]

This is the error I am getting. Any ideas? php upgrade related maybe?

PDO is not configured in your PHP installation.
This means that your software can't be used.

To fix this please installed the pdo_mysql php extension.
If you are using a webhost please email them and get them to
install PDO for PHP with the MySQL extension

i am also facing the same problem. is it related to recent php upgrade? or do i need to dynamically load it using dl() ????


correction using dl gives an error. basic html pages are working fine on my site but php pages where pdo is required is not working saying Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on line xx.

my cpanel is on absolut is the compiling over, if yes then there is a problem with pdo installation.
please check the same

Note: i trying with PDO SQLITE

I'm also having this issue. It was working before the PHP 5.5 upgrade.

Since PHP 5.5.0 you need to change from mysql to mysqli, check this out: http://www.php.net/manual/es/book.mysqli.php

 

[sicelx10]

The parameters of that new functions is different. Example:

 <?php
$connection= mysqli_connect("localhost","user","password","database");
$query= mysqli_query($connection, "SELECT * FROM table");
while($res=mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
     echo "$res[row]";
}
?>

NOTE: If you put a mysqli function inside a PHP variable, the function will run automatically.

Example:

It is the same if i do this:
$query= mysqli_query($connection, "SELECT * FROM table");
or this:
mysqli_query($connection, "SELECT * FROM table");

well it still doens't say why PDO is not working. do i have to start a new thread for PDO SQLITE ??

The mysql_* functions have been deprecated but in this case people are having a problem with PDO not mysql_*.

Why you dont use mysqli instead of PDO? . MySQLi is more faster.

No, it really isn't...

But anyways:


We're aware of this issue and are attempting to resolve it.

I would assume that it is in fact due to the upgrade. I believe this because everyone is having this issue, myself included, give it a day maybe two. It is is not fixed by then then open a support ticket. To reply to sicelx10:

PDO is for the OOP people. Mysqli looks goofy in OOP. Besides web sites are not about how fast they are, they are about the content and how easy it will be to update and edit the site.

No. Websites are 1000000% about how fast they are. If you don't think this, then you've learned web development completely wrong.

My point was that the speed shouldn't have to be thought out in the code. Your host should provide the speed.

...

I literally have no words. Speed is ALWAYS the thought in the code. It doesn't matter how "fast" your host is if you have terribly optimized code that doesn't run efficiently. Shitty code is still Shitty Code.
