WordPress is looking for mysqli

HI,

I am trying to install wordpress again. I am on a Windows 11 box. Apache 2.4 is installed somewhat. I am using PHP 8.+ This is on my home computer. Mysqli exists, but it is not coming up in phpinfo(). Word press won’t install until it sees that mysqli is installed. In my php.ini word press is uncommented. In the php file there are 2 places where mysqli exists. I commented out the first one and left the second one uncommented.

I know that I have another entry but did not get any help. I don’t like the ai they use here as it tends to not be good at all. I need real people who have fixed the problem on their computer. By the way I did eventually get mysqli working in the past. I have had to reinstall Win 11.

I have installed wordpress into my htdocs file. I know that there is a problem with Apache 2.4 too. I cannot find Apache in my services and yet it is working. I can run localhost/index.html. By the way, mysqli does exist in the php folder.

Thanks

Mark
