PHP5 MySQL5 PDOException “could not find driver”

Question

I have already tried the instructions mentioned in this post but still couldn't resolve the issue.

System Specifications:

Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64)
Apache 2.1.12 (x64)
PHP 5.6.6 (x64)
MySQL 5.6.22 (x64)

The following configurations are set as well:

extension_dir = "C:\Apache\php\ext"
....
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=customers", $user, $pass);

Unfortunately I am still having the exception, "PDOException: Could not find driver".

P.S/ I am new to PHP ;)

Is this your **real** and **full** code which you show us here, which produces this error? — Rizier123, Mar 23 '15 at 08:21
@Rizer123. Since I am new to PHP, I am just trying out PDO. I omitted the variable assignments ($user and $pass) and try catch block for simplification purpose. — Thurein, Mar 23 '15 at 08:35
Yup. I restart the server whenever I make changes to php.ini file. — Thurein, Mar 23 '15 at 08:52

I've just removed the existing MySQL 5.6.22 and installed 5.6.23 -a different build. Now it is working fine but I am not sure what went down the road.
