I'm using symfony 5, everything works fine when I do a command line migration (ex: php bin/console make:migration), but when I try to save a form in code with $doctrine->flush(); I get an error "An exception occurred in the driver: could not find driver" I'm using mysql,

my config:

in my .env file i have :

DATABASE_URL="mysql://root:@127.0.0.1:3306/myecom?serverVersion=10.4.11-MariaDB"

my doctrine.yaml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
     # configure these for your database server
        driver: 'pdo_mysql'
        url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'

my controller:

$doctrine = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

            $doctrine->persist($user);

            $doctrine->flush();

Do you have any hint to debug this?

EDIT : Resolved

The problem is that the php version of apache (php 7.2) is not supported by doctrine which requires php > 7.3, I put apache on php 7.3 and it works, to do it I proceeded as follows:

Disable the current php version:

sudo a2dismod php7.2

Restart apache:

systemctl restart apache2

Enable php 7.3:

sudo a2enmod php7.3

Restart Symfony server:

php bin/console server:stop
php bin/console server:start

Use `phpinfo();` or `php -m` to see if PDO driver is installed or not. – sajjad rezaei Mar 02 '22 at 00:43
Yes I did and I see that it is installed correctly – ArthurDayne Mar 02 '22 at 00:47
What's the output of `symfony php -m`? can you see `pdo` and `pdo_mysql`? – sajjad rezaei Mar 02 '22 at 01:02
yes both are installed – ArthurDayne Mar 02 '22 at 02:57

it appears that you have different php for cli and www – Your Common Sense Mar 02 '22 at 06:22

I know it from the very description you posted above. And the link to the similar question is pinned at the top of this question. – Your Common Sense Mar 02 '22 at 12:06
@YourCommonSense indeed, the difference of the php versions poses problem, I corrected it, thank you very much – ArthurDayne Mar 02 '22 at 18:42
