Uncaught Error Call to undefined function mysqli connect

Question

Hi Guys,

I have docker engine in my linux system. I am trying to launch php container in docker using docker-compose. But it shows me the below error.

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

This error may occurred because “PHP mysqli plugin” is missing inside PHP’s Docker container. To install it, use the below given command inside PHP's container.

$ docker-php-ext-install mysqli  
$ docker-php-ext-enable mysqli

Hope this will help.

This is quite useful. Thanks.

Where I have to run this command? I don't know which PHP's container you are talking about. I have XAMPP and PHP installed and same error is coming to me also. Please help me and tell.
