Answer 1

I spent a lot of time trying all the options. Finally solved it by moving the php.ini file back to the php folder from the apache folder that I had moved it to after installing php.

Answer 2

I have seen this problem. This error appears when I upgraded by 15.10 to 16.04 or installed 16.04.I resolved my problem by running this command and system restart. Just run these command

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext

sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 3

It had worked for me - for xamp3.2.2 php7.0.1 changes in php.ini

1- extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext" //give the full path where your ext folder is located

2- ;extension=php_mysqli.dll //uncomment this (remove semicolon)

3- save and restart apache !
