prior to asking, I have checked several (not all) the answers to similar questions in SO.
My current settings are Windows 10, running Laragon (if you don't know what Laragon is, I highly recommend it), that comes with Apache 2, Postgres 11, PHP, etc. Everything is configured correctly.
If I write a plain PHP app, the connection to the database works perfectly, I can connect (pg_connect()) make queries pg_query() and such, so the PHP pgsql and pdo_pgsql are working correctly, yet I got this error:
1 Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException::("could not find driver")
D:\...\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection.php:31
2 PDOException::("could not find driver")
D:\...\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection.php:27
My .env file in Laravel has:
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=xxxxxx
DB_USERNAME=xxxxxx
DB_PASSWORD=xxxxxx
So, what am I missing? What should I check?
@Alex No, it's not that, this is a small portion of my php.ini
...
extension=openssl
;extension=pdo_firebird
extension=pdo_mysql
;extension=pdo_oci
;extension=pdo_odbc
extension=pdo_pgsql
;extension=pdo_sqlite
extension=pgsql
;extension=shmop
...
Maybe my php configuration got corrupted? Can such thing happen?
EDIT - Solved
This is what happened: apparently, either the PHP files or one of the Postgres' DLL was corrupted. It was solved with exactly the same configuration described above as soon as I re-installed everything. Took me few hours of backup and such, but it is working now.
I got no idea how this happened. Since I was working on a development environment maybe a coworker installed or did something, I don't know.
Should I remove the question?
