I understand that there are already many questions about this error, and even there are answers, but none of them helped me, a year ago I tried to start studying laravel and there was all the same error, I abandoned this thing, now I decided to try again, I even windows reinstalled. What have i been through:
- uncomment the line extension = php_pdo_mysql.dll, more precisely, I initially had it without ";
- changed the php version, now there is php version 7.4.4, and in xampp version 7.4.4
- DBMS works correctly, tested on pure php, using MariaDB
I repeat, I use windows it is very important, because in almost all the answers I see this line "sudo"
