PhpStorm: Run PHP server doesn't work: could not find driver

Question

I am using PhpStorm for a year and now I want to run my PHP server using the PHP Run menu:

I run the server pushing the green arrow button. Then the console show:

/home/john/.cache/JetBrains/PhpStorm2020.1/plugins/idea-php-latest-plugin/php-v7.3.1/php.sh -S localhost:8080 -t /home/john/my-nice-project/backend/web

Then I go to localhost:8080 in my browser and I see this error:

I execute php -v in my terminal and I can see this:

PHP 7.2.34-18+0~20210223.60+debian10~1.gbpb21322 (cli) (built: Feb 23 2021 16:47:51) ( NTS )

    with Zend OPcache v7.2.34-18+0~20210223.60+debian10~1.gbpb21322, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

So maybe the problem is the version of the PHP interpreter: I have 7.2.34 and PhpStorm has php-v7.3.1 configure.

Is there any way to configure the version?

But if I execute this command, it works fine:

php yii serve --docroot="backend/web/"

Add this to your php.ini file: extension=pdo.so

On Ubuntu, easy to do `apt install php7.0-mysql` rather then building extension from source – Haridarshan May 16 '21 at 17:38
