Cannot Find mysqli Class in PHP7 Installation on Windows

Question

The php codes are running fine. I am not able to connect database using 'mysqli' Class. It says

Class 'mysqli' not found

I've uncommented extension=php_mysqli.dll in php.ini file. Did I miss anything while installing php7.

@RiggsFolly : I solved the issue, it was a silly mistake. I did not set the `extension_dir`, now I set it to `extension_dir = "C:\php7\ext"` and its working fine. Thanks. — gskhanal, Dec 13 '15 at 15:18

I am experiencing the same issue and I tried setting the extension_dir to the absolute path. I tried with backslashes and forward slashes. None works. Any ideas? — feedc0de, Apr 10 '17 at 07:12

I solved the issue, it was a silly mistake. The extension_dir was not set. I set it to extension_dir = "C:\php7\ext" and its working fine.

@Pradeep, you need to set that in your php.ini file. – gskhanal Nov 30 '18 at 05:36
