Editing since my question was closed for being similar to another question. I have tried those solutions and they did not work. Is there something else that could cause this problem?
I am getting "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Users\duke_\Projects\Project2\db_conn.php:9" when trying to connect to my mysql database. I am using xampp for the server and vs-code for the coding side of things. I am using PHP 8.2.8 on a windows 10 machine. Fatal Error
I read through some of the threads on here and tried the solutions suggested with making sure that extension=mysqli is enabled in php.ini PHP.ini
however when i run "echo phpinfo();" it shows mysqlnd as enabled but no mention of mysqli.
I am very new to PHP and to coding in general. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
