Cannot load mysqli extension. Please c         


        

Answer 1

I had this issue because of a different reason:

Check the PHP Error Log(Get from the Wamp Tray -> PHP -> PHP Error Log. I had a syntax error in the php.ini file while I was editing the file. Check the log and clear the error. This will open your PhpMyAdmin properly.
